  • Induction regulator for an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 4452219
    Abstract: An induction regulator for fitting in the inlet manifold of a carbureted internal combustion engine, the regulator serving to balance the fuel flow to match the engine requirements.The regulator comprises mounting straps (13) forming part of a frame (9). The frame (9) surrounds a wire mesh gauze (11) through which the fuel air mixture passes en route to the engine. An open top reservoir (19) is disposed with its open top adjacent the mesh gauze (11) on the downstream side of the gauze (11) and serves to retain excess unvaporized fuel, and prevent it from passing to the engine. The excess fuel in the reservoir vaporizes when additional fuel is demanded and passes to the engine.
