There is provided a cylinder for an internal combustion engine, wherein the inner wall surface of the cylinder which constitutes a slide-contacting surface for the piston is treated with a metal plating which is minimal in burden to the environment, excellent in abrasion resistance and hard enough to endure the practical use of the cylinder, thus making it possible to dispense with a finishing work such as honing work. The cylinder is featured in that the inner wall surface of the cylinder which is adapted to be slidably contacted with a piston is electroplated in a plating bath comprising a nickel plating solution containing a boron compound such as trimethylamine borane, dimethylamine borane, etc.
Abstract:
A cylinder and a method for manufacturing a cylinder for an internal combustion engine is provided which avoids the generation of a step portion at the scavenging port without necessitating enhanced precision of the positioning of the working tools or the working location. A raw cylinder body is cast-molded with the scavenging port portion thereof being left closed. Subsequently, this closed scavenging port portion is cut out (or opened) by means of cutting work, etc. The cutting out of the closed scavenging port portion is performed by widening the cylinder bore side thereof at predetermined angles to the planes of the inner wall of the hollow scavenging passageway formed contiguous to the closed scavenging port portion.

In this starter, a recoil handle attached to one end portion of the recoil rope is placed remote from the main body of the starter by a predetermined distance and adapted to be supported by a handle-supporting member provided at a specific portion of the working machine; and an extended portion of the recoil rope which is located between the main body and the handle-supporting member is loosely sheathed by a flexible guide pipe, one end of which being fixed, and the other end being made free.
Abstract:
An engine intake control mechanism has a throttle valve that can be rotated to a cold-starting position in response to the closing movement of a choke valve and, even if the throttle valve is opened beyond the cold-starting position, the choke valve is retained at the cold-starting position. Only when the throttle valve is subsequently actuated to return to its original closed position is the choke valve automatically returned to its original opened position. The engine intake control mechanism is especially useful in top handle type portable power working machines, which are subject to undesirable movements of the throttle control lever on the top handle when the engine is being started.
