Abstract: A carburetor fuel mixture adjustment assembly including a threaded cylindrical needle valve receptacle formed in a carburetor main body and intersecting a fuel passage. A needle valve body is threaded into the needle valve receptacle and includes a needle that extends into an axially-aligned needle seat orifice portion of the fuel passage. The needle is axially movable within the needle seat orifice by rotation of the needle valve body to control how much of the orifice is open to fuel flow. A valve spring disposed between a head of the needle valve body and the carburetor main body biases the head away from the carburetor main body. A needle stabilizer engages and cooperates with the valve spring in laterally biasing the needle into one position relative to the needle seat orifice. The lateral bias assures constant fuel flow through the orifice by resisting needle movement.

Abstract: A cap and method for limiting the range of adjustment of a fuel flow metering valve in a carburetor. The cap has a body with an arm projecting generally radially outwardly therefrom to abut against a stop carried by the carburetor to limit valve rotation and a passage therein for telescopically axially receiving the head end of a shank of the valve. Portions within the passage enable the cap to be retained in the shank of the valve in a freely rotating first position during assembly and arm orientation, and in a second position securing the cap to the valve to limit adjustment and maintain emissions calibration. Preferably, the cap may also be moved to a third position to releasably drivingly engage the valve to perform fuel flow adjustment before securing the cap to the valve. The cap can also be prepositioned angularly relative to an adjusted position of the valve before it is moved to its second position on the valve to limit the extent of subsequent adjustment of the valve.

Abstract: Improvement in peanut clip limiter cap holder, wherein the clip spring legs are interconnected by a spring web that flexes to accommodate flexing of the clip legs free ends during insertion of the associated limiter caps into the retaining clip, and prolongs the effective friction grip service life of the clip. Optional detent dimples on the clip spring legs and cooperative limiter cap grooves enhance yieldable retention of the caps in the clip and the clip on the needle valves. When the peanut clip is used to install only a single limiter cap on a single needle valve, a dummy stud is mounted to the carburetor in the vacant needle valve position and the stud head occupies the vacant limiter cap position in the clip. An improved needle valve is made as an assembly of a lathe-turned tip/shank part and a separate precision die cast head part. The head part has the needle spring stop flange, the fluted spline portion, the limiter cap barb retention structure, and a cavity telescopically receiving a shank stem to rotationally drive couple the shank and head parts in assembly. The shank stem is press fit or cast into the head cavity to permanently join the shank and head parts in fixed relationship, or preferably the head cavity cooperates with the shank stem and a cross arm thereof to form a releasable, telescopic, quarter-turn bayonet coupling. The needle valve spring biases the bayonet coupling to fully locked condition. Coupling axial lost motion insures lock-on of cap retention barbs on the head of the "shorter" needle, and thus final installation lock-on of both limiter caps while being held by the clip. "Side-play" between head and shank parts isolates the needle shank part from adverse needle bending moments.

Abstract: A carburetor throttle and choke control mechanism incorporating a choke-throttle cold-start fast idle setting latch mechanism having, in a first embodiment, a blade of a fast idle lever specially contoured for creating upon interengagement with a tang on a throttle lever initial torque resistance to co-rotation of the fast idle lever toward latched condition and then effecting force reversal for creating aiding torque to accelerate the fast idle lever relative to choke lever and thereby open a gap in the push coupling that remains in the latched position of the choke and throttle valves. The choke lever has a relatively rigid pusher leg portion adapted for abutment in push relation with a fast idle lever tang. In a second embodiment an extension of the leg portion in the form of a generally U-shaped resilient spring hook portion is adapted to overlap the tang and releasably hook engage the same when the leg portion is brought into full push abutment with said tang. The U-shaped hook portion is resiliently flexible to act as a spring to develop a torque on the choke by pulling the choke valve fully closed when said fast idle lever is moved to fully latched condition while flexing so that the gap remains between the pusher leg portion and the tang.

Abstract: A needle valve limiter cap of single-stage and two stage types having a hollow cylindrical outer body of rigid material, carrying a limiter arm. A spring steel hollow retainer clip sleeve is telescopically received in the body and has inwardly and outwardly protruding resilient barbs reversely oriented relative to one another to respectively engage the cap body and the needle valve shank to respectively prevent retrograde relative telescopic motion between the clip and the body and between the clip and valve shank. Easy seating of the single or two-stage caps into their locked first and/or second stage needle adjustment positions also produces an audible click and feel as the inwardly protruding spring barb(s) snap into a needle shank groove or grooves. A cap living-hinge type anti-tamper flap at the cap end prevents access of any adjustment tool to a needle valve head. A "peanut clip" cap orientor and holder encircles the cap bodies to hold them in a paired side-by-side subassembly for storage, shipment and/or telescopic installation and rotational orientation of the caps simultaneously on their respective needle valve shanks. A peanut clip stop leg automatically halts initial push-on assembly of the paired cap bodies and peanut clip at first stage position. Cap limiter arm entrapment extensions on the holder clip lock the caps angularly in rich-rich orientation only in first stage position. Improved forms of needle valves with shank grooves, cooperating barb retaining shoulders, an anti-pry-off cap abutment conical shoulder and anti-tamper adjustment head cooperate with the limiter caps.

Abstract: A combustion engine carburetor has a control valve assembly that generally controls flow through a fuel-and-air mixing passage extending through a body of the carburetor. The control valve assembly has at least one valve preferably of a butterfly-type having a shaft that extends transversely across the fuel-and-air mixing passage and journaled for rotation in the body about a rotation axis. The shaft has opposite trailing and leading end portions that project from generally opposing sides of the carburetor body. Axial movement of the shaft with respect to the body is limited by an axial retention feature that preferably has a radially enlarged end cap formed unitarily to the trailing end portion and a coupler snap fitted to the leading end portion. Preferably, the coupler is formed unitarily at least in part to a control lever of the valve having a rotation restriction feature that prevents rotation of the control lever with respect to the shaft and is orientated in such a way to the leading end portion so that the control lever and at least a part of the coupler is removable from the shaft.

Abstract: A control system for a low cost, light duty combustion engine, where the control system generally utilizes an engine speed input signal and independent operating sequences to determine a desired ignition timing. There are several independent operating sequences, each one of which is designed to optimally control the engine under certain conditions. These operating sequences include a Cranking sequence, a Warm Up sequence, a Normal Mode sequence, an Acceleration sequence, a Come Down sequence, a Recovery Bump sequence, and a Part Throttle sequence. During idling conditions, the Normal Mode sequence uses rapid changes in the ignition timing to maintain the engine speed in a small, idle engine speed range. By utilizing these operational sequences, the control system improves the performance of a low cost, light duty engine across a wide array of conditions.
