Abstract: There is disclosed an internal combustion engine carburetor fuel/air circuit air bleed input control device having an air distribution block, at least one air input port and one or more air output ports connected with the air bleed inputs of one or more carburetors. A control valve is disposed between the air input and an air flow balance chamber to which the output ports are connected. Two valves and balance chambers can provide control for carburetors having two fuel/air circuits. Optionally, an input air tube may be provided so that the source of air for the air distribution block input or inputs may be located in selected locations, for example, in a carburetor air stream. Another option is to provide a remote control from, for example, the handlebars of a motorcycle.

Abstract: An exhaust muffler for a motor vehicle includes a louver tube having an intake end and an exhaust end. An outer tube, consisting of a frustoconical portion and a cylindrical portion, is concentrically arranged around the louver tube. A plurality of louvers and associated louver holes in the louver tube scoop a portion of gasses from the louver tube into the outer tube. An end cap, which includes an exhaust exit hole in its center, fits into an exhaust end of the outer tube. A plurality of end cap holes are arranged so that gasses leaving the outer tube flow through them. A restrictor disk between the end cap and louver tube includes a central hole coaxial with the louver tube and the exhaust exit hole of the end cap. Restrictor disk holes are in the restrictor disk between the central hole and its perimeter so that gasses leaving the louver tube flow through the central hole and the restrictor disk holes as they leave the muffler.
