Abstract:
A carburetor (1) for an internal combustion engine has an intake channel section (3) wherein a throttle element and a choke element are supported to pivot about respective rotational axes (34, 35). The carburetor (1) has a starter unit which has an operating position, an off position and at least one start position. In the start position, the starter unit fixes defined positions of the throttle element and the choke element. A simple manipulability and a multifaceted operational use of the carburetor (1) are achieved when the starter unit includes an actuating lever (29, 69) and an intermediate lever (18, 68) having respective rotational axes (28, 37) which are at a distance (c) to each other at least at the elevation of the intermediate lever (18, 68) and when the actuating lever (29, 69) acts on the throttle element via the intermediate lever (18, 68).
Abstract:
A carburetor has a housing with intake channel section. A throttle element and a choke element are arranged in the intake channel section and are adjustable between a closed position in which a flow cross-section of the intake channel is substantially closed and an open position in which the flow cross-section of the intake channel is substantially released. The choke element has a start position in which the flow cross-section of the intake channel is at least partially closed. A coupling device couples the throttle element to the choke element when the choke element is in the start position. The choke element has an enriching position. The coupling device has an actuator that moves the choke element into the enriching position when the throttle element is moved, starting from the start positions of the throttle element and of the choke element, toward the open throttle position of the throttle element.
Abstract:
An automatic carburetor (20) enrichment system that controls the air-fuel mixture during cold start of an engine (10) having a carburetor including a fuel bowl (22) and an induction passage (23), includes a sensor (50) that provides a signal indicative of an engine temperature at engine start, a fuel line (30) connected between the fuel bowl (22) and the induction passage, a solenoid valve (40) disposed in the fuel line, and a controller (10) that receives the signal and sets a duty cycle of the solenoid valve associated with the engine temperature to increase the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture at engine start. The automatic carburetor enrichment system reduces cranking time during cold start, eliminates the need for driver input during cold start, prevents engine stalling without assistance from the operator during the warm up phase, provides a simpler, more cost effective and reliable carburetor enrichment, provides self-drowning protection without the use of an electronic idle switch and eliminates the risk of engine drowning when the engine is cranked with the choke ON and the ignition switches OFF.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a membrane carburetor which includes an intake channel having a throttle flap which is pivotally journalled. The carburetor also includes a control chamber from which fuel can be supplied to the intake channel. A valve is mounted in an ancillary channel and a corresponding adjustment of the throttle flap results in dependence upon the opening and closing position.
Abstract:
The present disclosure concerns an automatic choke system designed to make a whole carburetor shorter and more compact. The system comprises a case body having a generally inverted L-shape, with a thermo-element housed in a vertical portion of the case body. A thermistor proximate to thermally expanding wax inside the thermo-element is heated up by electric current, which increases its own electric resistance with the increasing heat. A piston is projected from the top end of the thermo-element by the thermal expansion of the wax. A link housed in the horizontal portion of the case body is pivotally supported therein so as to move a moving part downward when the link is acted on by the piston. The moving part pushes down a starter valve to close a by-pass passageway as well as push down a needle to close an auxiliary fuel passageway.
Abstract:
This choke device is characterized in that a starting pump 49 for supplying the fuel in a fuel tank 25 by suction to a starting nozzle port 41, is driven by a fuel motor 53. Starting of the engine is executed by the use of a starting motor or a recoil starter, by supplying the fuel in the fuel tank 25 to the starting nozzle port 41 through sucking of the fuel with the starting fuel pump 49 which is turned by the fuel motor 53, thereby facilitating the ignition by augmenting the concentration of the mixed gas.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine having a fuel tank, a combustion chamber defined in an engine cylinder, and an air intake passage communicating with the combustion chamber. The fuel supply system comprises a main fuel passage communicating the fuel tank and the air intake passage, first supply mechanism provided on the main fuel passage for supplying main fuel from the fuel tank to the air intake passage responsive to the cranking of the engine a starting fuel passage defined separate from the main fuel passage and communicating with the air intake passage and the main fuel passage, and second supply mechanism provided on the starting fuel passage for supplying a predetermined amount of starting fuel into the air intake passage, in addition to the supply of main fuel, responsive to the temperature of the engine cylinder upon starting of the engine. The main fuel passage and the starting fuel passage communicate with the venturi portion of the air intake passage so that the supply of both main fuel and starting fuel into the intake air passage is performed at the venturi portion.
Abstract:
Several embodiments of charge forming systems for crankcase internal combustion engines each of which embodies a first charge forming device having a main fuel discharge that delivers a fuel/air mixture to the crankcase and a second charge forming device having an idle fuel discharge for delivering a fuel/air mixture to the transfer passage. The second charge forming device is provided with means for providing cold running enrichment. In addition, a priming fuel pump is adapted to supply priming fuel of a higher quality to the first charge forming device upstream of its venturi section. The two charge forming devices are each supplied with air from a common air inlet device that includes at least a air silencer. The communication of the second charge forming device with the air supply device is such so as to preclude the likelihood of fuel leakage if the engine is oriented in other than its normal condition.
Abstract:
A fuel feed device for an internal combustion engine including a main fuel system including a charge forming device that supplies fuel, air requirements to the engine for most running conditions. An automatically operated auxiliary supply system is provided for supplying additional fuel and, in some instances, air to the engine in response to specific running conditions such as cold starting or cold enrichment. This system includes an automatically operated valve for controlling the fuel discharge. A manual override valve is provided that will permit manual selection of fuel enrichment or will shut off the fuel enrichment regardless of the condition of the automatic valve.
Abstract:
A carburetor including a throttle valve for regulating the flow of air through the body of the carburetor and to an engine, with fuel being introduced into the air flow for intermixture therewith, and with the device including an air actuated element which is preferably located downstream of the throttle valve and is adapted to be displaced automatically by the air to different positions varying in correspondence with the rate of air flow through the device, and which forms a restriction varying in size with the rate of air flow and acting to enhance dispersal of the fuel within the air and assure intimate intermixture of the air and fuel for optimum functioning of the engine. The fuel may be premixed with a secondary flow of air before delivery of the fuel and secondary air as a combined stream into the primary flow of air, and the combined stream may be drawn by vacuum into the primary flow of air at the location of the restriction formed by the flow actuated member. Precise control of the amount of fuel which is fed into the primary flow is attained by automatic regulation of a valve controlling the amount of secondary air which is mixed with the fuel. A proper air-fuel ratio may be assured by utilizing movement of the air actuated element to control operation of the secondary air valve. Additional automatic controls for starting and idle purposes are actuated by a vacuum responsive element and a thermostatic element.
