Abstract: An exhaust arrangement for an internal combustion engine wherein the timing of the cylinder events is such that the exhaust port of one cylinder opens before the exhaust port of another cylinder closes so as to improve scavenging and performance. In preferred embodiments, the engine is of a 2-cycle type and the exhaust port of the one cylinder also opens before the scavenge port of the other cylinder closes. The principle is also depicted in conjunction with a four cylinder engine.
Abstract: A fuel delivery system for an engine having multiple, vertically spaced charge formers, and the system is provided with a fuel conduit arrangement so that the individual conduits serving the individual charge formers are kept relatively short in length, but the conduits are interconnected in such a way that any vapor which may form in the conduits will flow vertically upwardly for purging from the system.
Abstract: An outboard motor for mounting on the transom of a boat, having a horizontal engine and output shaft, an exhaust system having horizontal and vertical portions including an enlarged cross sectional water jacketed muffler within a water chamber having a retaining wall defining the water level, is tiltable and provides an enclosure for the engine area including a cowling, hood, and moveable hood section and a sleeve between the moveable hood and engine to perfect enclosure during tilting.
