Abstract: A pair of embodiments of flame arrester arrangements for marine propulsion engines wherein the flame arrester is positioned vertically above the thermostat housing at one end of the engine and the plenum chamber for the intake manifold is disposed above the exhaust elbow of the engine so as to provide good induction efficiency and compact size. Different configurations of flame arresters are disclosed and they both provide very large effective inlet areas and, at the same time, good flame protection.

Abstract: In this mounting structure and method for a surface mounted type electronic component, the component has at least one terminal which protrudes from its bottom surface and which terminates in a foot portion for being soldered to a printed circuit board. Also, a projection extends from this bottom surface of the electronic component for a distance somewhat less than the amounty by which the terminal projects from it. This projection is provisionally secured by adhesive to the printed circuit board with the foot portion of the terminal overlaying that circuit portion to which it is to be soldered, and then subsequently this terminal foot portion is soldered to this circuit portion. Thereby, during the soldering process, there is no risk of the terminal foot portion becoming displaced from the circuit portion and thus badly soldered thereto, because of the locating action of the adhered projection.
