  • Means and method for securing a metering rod lifter cam on a throttle shaft of a carburetor
    Patent number: 3940459
    Abstract: A multi-barrel carburetor for an internal combustion engine has a primary throttle shaft and a metering rod lifter cam thereon. The metering rod lifter cam is generally C-shaped and has an inwardly projecting tongue which fits within a tapered groove in the throttle shaft for securing the cam thereon. The C-shaped cam is first inserted over a flat on the shaft and the groove in the shaft is aligned axially with the tongue of the cam. Then the shaft is slipped axially while the cam is held in position thereby to engage the tongue with the groove for securing the cam onto the throttle shaft.
