Abstract: A carburetor including a one piece choke valve and shaft assembly including a shaft, a detent plate formed on a first end, a lever arm formed on a second end, a pair of opposing collars formed adjacent the detent plate and lever arm, a valve plate centrally positioned on the shaft, and opposing splines formed on the shaft enabling it to be inserted through an assembly slot cut into a shaft bore in the carburetor body. The detent plate includes a partial annular slot encompassing the angular range of travel of the choke valve. First, second and third detent pockets are formed along an outer edge of the slot. A positive positioning pin engages or interacts with the detent plate to positively position the choke valve in first, second or third angular positions corresponding to “close choke”, “half choke” and “open choke.

Abstract: A carburetor for a stratified charge two cycle engine with a choke bore, venturi, and throttle bore configuration matching an irregularly shaped choke valve. The trailing and leading edges of the choke and throttle valves, respectively, preferably overlap during wide open throttle operation to separate a single intake passage bore into an air intake passage above the choke and throttle valves and an air/fuel intake passage below the choke and throttle valves. The choke valve is preferably bent to minimize operational rotation and limit fuel spit back.
