    摘要: A method, fuel system, and components for facilitating the delivery of liquid fuel from a fuel tank in fluid communication with a float bowl carburetor of an internal combustion engine, wherein evaporative emissions of the fuel from the fuel tank and float bowl carburetor are mitigated. During operation of the engine, fluid communication is permitted between the fuel tank and the carburetor, and fuel vapors at a predetermined threshold superatmospheric pressure are permitted to vent outwardly from the fuel tank. During inoperation of the engine, fluid communication is prevented between the fuel tank and the carburetor, and fuel vapors at a predetermined threshold superatmospheric pressure are permitted to vent outwardly from the fuel tank.

    摘要: Method, system and apparatus for metering fuel to an internal combustion engine via a carburetor having a mixture conduit with a venturi therein. A main fuel nozzle supplies fuel to the venturi of the carburetor in response to the static pressure drop induced across an associated main fuel flow controlling restriction by the engine intake induced air flow through the carburetor mixture conduit. A pitot tube is disposed in the venturi with an opening facing upstream in a zone of maximum air flow through the carburetor venturi. A vent passageway system connects the pitot tube to a single closed air chamber cooperable with either a diaphragm or a float to regulate operation of an inlet valve controlling flow of fuel to a main fuel controlling restriction. The adverse effect of engine intake induced tuning pressure wave forms in the mixture conduit of the carburetor transitting the venturi is eliminated, reduced or modulated by the dynamic pressure exerted by said tuning waves at the pitot tube and transmitted by the vent passageway to said chamber and to said main fuel restriction.

    摘要: A temperature compensated carburetor having a fuel metering system including a variable restriction needle gate valve for varying the effective flow cross-sectional area of the main and/or idle fuel supply duct to modulate the flow rate of fuel to the carburetor venturi mixing passage. The needle gate valve is made of plastic material having a much greater coefficient of expansion than the aluminum carburetor body in which it is adjustably mounted such that differential linear expansion and contraction of the needle valve relative to the carburetor body in response to ambient temperature changes varies the flow-controlling cross-sectional area of the fuel duct inversely relative to ambient temperature changes. The needle valve is a rod-like body with a threaded cylindrical mounting portion at one end threadably secured in a threaded bore in the carburetor body. A reduced diameter extension of the needle body extends axially away from the mounting end of the needle body and has cylindrical stem portion slidable in another bore of the carburetor body. The needle body is unrestrained linearly from the free end of the stem portion to the needle body mounting portion. The free end of the stem is movable in a jet fuel feeding passageway of the fuel duct to thus vary the flow controlling cross-section thereof.

    摘要: Methods and fuel systems to reduce evaporative emissions of a volatile fuel. A fuel tank contains fuel, a carburetor mixes air with the fuel from the fuel tank, and a plurality of fluid paths route fuel amongst and/or between the fuel tank and the carburetor. A valve actuation device stops flow of fuel in one or more of the plurality of fluid paths and the carburetor is adapted to be drained of fuel during engine shutdown to reduce or prevent evaporative emissions from the fuel system. The carburetor is preferably designed so as to minimize a volume of fuel contained therein.

    摘要: A fuel evaporative emission control apparatus in a carburetor which prevents diurnal evaporation to the atmosphere of fuel from a remote fuel tank through a fuel bowl or fuel chamber of a float-type carburetor. One or more shut-off valves in the carburetor are yieldably biased to a shut-off position. Only upon engine operation or user intervention will the fuel shut-off valve move to an open or on position. In this way, reliance upon the engine user is not required to reduce evaporative emissions.

    摘要: A carburetor having a first valve to control the application of pressure pulses to a fuel metering assembly of the carburetor through a first flow path and a second valve which controls at least a second flow path to provide an enriched fuel and air mixture to the engine to facilitate starting the engine and warming it up. The pressure pulses are preferably applied to a fuel metering diaphragm to actuate the diaphragm and cause a richer than normal fuel and air mixture to be delivered to the engine. Desirably, a maximum enrichment of the fuel and air mixture is obtained when at least one valve is open to facilitate starting the engine, and a lesser enrichment of the mixture may be obtained by closing a valve to facilitate warming the engine up after it is initially started.
