A pulley is attached to the throttle shaft assembly and is disposed between adjacent throttle bodies.

Abstract: A two-cycle, multi-cylinder engine maintains roughly equal temperatures between cylinders, despite differing exhaust efficiencies between the cylinders. Several ways of reducing the temperature of one of the cylinders in comparison to the other are disclosed. One embodiment involves supplying more coolant to the cooling passages around the hotter running cylinder. Other ways involve reducing the compression ratio or retarding ignition timing in the hotter running cylinder in comparison to the other cylinder.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed in which a reduction of the number of steps is made possible between the step of writing into ROM and the completion of the semiconductor memory device. In this semiconductor memory device, a high resistance polycrystalline silicon wiring region is provided at a portion of a source wiring connected to a source region of an MOS transistor. Accordingly, the MOS transistor can be turned OFF easily when a voltage of 3 V to 5 V is applied to that MOS transistor, without having to control its threshold voltage. In addition, if the manufacturing process for forming the high resistance wiring region in the source region is performed after the formation of a contact hole for an aluminum wiring for drains, the number of process steps is reduced between the step of writing into the ROM and completing the semiconductor memory device.

Abstract: An improved fuel supply system for a watercraft engine eases the setting of fuel supply pressure in each of the carburetors of the engine. The fuel supply system includes a fuel supply line which supplies fuel to a plurality of feed branches of the fuel circuit which are arranged in parallel. Each branch communicates with one of the carburetors. The branches have equal lengths such that the flow resistance within each branch is generally the same between the branches. The fuel supply system also includes a fuel return line which communicates with a plurality of return branches of the fuel circuit. The return branches are arranged in parallel, with each return branch communicating with one of the carburetors. The return branches also have equal lengths and are arranged to have like flow resistances. This structure of the fuel circuit between the carburetors tends to isolate the carburetors from one another such that the fuel pressure in one carburetor does not affect the fuel pressure in the other carburetors.
