Abstract:
A diaphragm type carburetor which has a purge system to remove air and fuel vapor from the carburetor and to fill it with liquid fuel prior to starting an engine fed by the carburetor. The purge system has a primer valve actuated by moving a choke valve of the carburetor to its closed position to inject a small volume of liquid fuel into a throttle bore to provide a richer fuel and air mixture to the engine to facilitate starting it. Desirably, the small volume of liquid fuel is injected into the throttle bore in response to closing of the choke valve without requiring any additional steps such as depressing a button on the carburetor, to do so. Preferably, the choke valve is carried on a shaft which has at least one detent formed therein to provide a camming surface which actuates the primer valve as the choke valve is rotated from its open position to its closed position. Preferably, the choke valve shaft has a pair of detents. The primer valve is partially received by one detent when the choke valve is fully opened to close the primer valve and prevent any fluid flow therethrough. A second detent partially receives the primer valve to also close the primer valve after the choke valve has been moved to its fully closed position. The camming surface is disposed between the two detents relative to the movement of the choke valve to temporarily open the primer valve and inject the desired quantity of liquid fuel into the throttle bore to assist starting the engine when the choke valve is moved between its open and closed positions.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for controlling the fuel supply to an internal combustion engine at start-up, the engine having a fuel supply system. The invention also concerns a carburetor having a fuel supply system including a main fuel path connecting a diaphragm controlled regulating chamber to a main outlet in the region of the venturi section, the main fuel path including an actively controlled fuel valve, and an idling fuel path branching off from the main fuel path downstream of the valve and ending in at least one idling outlet in the region of a throttle valve, the fuel supply system further including a start fuel line starting upstream or downstream of the fuel valve and ending in at least one start fuel outlet to the intake channel.
Abstract:
A fuel supply system includes an intake flow passage communicating with an intake port of a gas engine, a fuel shut-off valve assembly for blocking a fuel supply passage to prevent supply of a gas fuel to a fuel mixer, a vacuum flow passage communicating with a vacuum actuator of the fuel shut-off valve assembly and a crank chamber of the gas engine, and means for holding the vacuum flow passage open when the gas engine starts, such that a vacuum produced in the crank chamber is used to actuate the vacuum actuator for switching the fuel shut-off valve assembly to an open position allowing supply of the gas fuel to the fuel mixer.
Abstract:
A choke system for an internal combustion engine includes a carburetor having an air intake, a choke valve disposed in the air intake, and a choke lever coupled to the choke valve, wherein the choke valve is movable between a closed position and an open position, a mechanical linkage coupled to the choke lever, and a solenoid attached to the carburetor and coupled to the mechanical linkage so activation of the solenoid moves the choke valve, wherein the solenoid is activated in response to activation of a starter system of an internal combustion engine, thereby moving the choke valve via the mechanical linkage to the closed position.

Abstract:
An internal combustion engine that includes a carburetor having a choke valve and an actuator configured to move the choke valve between a closed choke position and an open choke position. A passageway is configured to direct a pressure pulse from the engine into a fuel chamber of the carburetor. The engine further includes a priming valve at least partially located within the passageway. The priming valve is configured to move between an open primer position that allows the pressure pulse to enter the fuel chamber through the passageway and a closed primer position that substantially restricts the pressure pulse from entering the fuel chamber through the passageway. The priming valve is configured to move between the open primer position and the closed primer position by the actuator when the actuator moves the choke valve between the closed choke position and the open choke position, respectively.
Abstract:
It is intended to provide an air-fuel ratio control device for a carburetor, which is capable of variably inject fuel by opening and closing a choke valve in accordance with an opening degree of a throttle valve and the load and which is capable of achieving low cost, clean emission and fuel saving by attaining a desired air-fuel ratio in an entire operational range (rotation speed, load) of the internal combustion engine. The air-fuel ratio control device is provided with, but not limited to, a choke valve 6 arranged in an intake path of an internal combustion engine 1, a throttle valve 7 arranged in the intake path on a downstream side of the choke valve, a first stepper motor 8 driving the choke valve 6 to adjust an opening degree of the choke valve 6, a second stepper motor 9 driving the throttle valve 7 to adjust an opening degree of the throttle valve 7, and a controller 12 controlling the opening degree of the choke valve 6 in accordance with a change of a rotation speed of the internal combustion engine 1 based on the opening degree of the throttle valve 7, and, when the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine 1 is constant, controls the opening degree of the choke valve 6 based on a map which determines the opening degree of the choke valve 6 from load of the internal combustion engine 1, so as to achieve a desired air-fuel ratio.
