Abstract: An engine assembly comprising an internal combustion engine, and a vapor separator including a fuel inlet adapted to communicate with a source of fuel, a fuel outlet communicating with the engine, a vapor outlet, and a valve mechanism operatively connected to the engine for opening the vapor outlet in response to operation of the engine and for closing the vapor outlet in response to non-operation of the engine.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a housing, a wall dividing the housing into high and low pressure chambers having a pressure differential therebetween, the wall including a surface partially defining the high pressure chamber, and a passage communicating with the surface and between the high and low pressure chambers, a valve seat located on the surface adjacent the passage, a valve member movable into engagement with the valve seat for preventing fluid flow through the passage, and a mechanism for causing the valve member to move away from the valve seat with a snap action.

Abstract: An optical fluid level indicator comprising a light transmitting member having a longitudinal axis, an upper end, and a lower end adapted to extend into a fluid container, the lower end including a first surface having a shape, and a portion projecting downwardly from the first surface and forming a second surface spaced beneath the first surface and having a shape, and a float member having mounted thereon a light reflecting disc and being connected to the lower end of the light transmitting member for movement relative to the light transmitting member in the direction of the longitudinal axis and between a first position wherein the light reflecting disc is adjacent the second surface so that light transmitted to the second surface is reflected by the light reflecting disc, thereby causing appearance at the upper end of the light transmitting member of a light area having the shape of the second surface surrounded by a dark area having the shape of the first surface, and a second position wherein the light

Abstract: A marine installation comprising a marine propulsion device including a propulsion unit having a lower unit supporting a propeller and a powerhead including a two-stroke internal combustion engine having an apparatus for feeding a fuel/oil mixture to the engine and including a fuel/oil mixture pump having an inlet and being operable to create suction at the inlet, a flexible hose releasably connected to and communicating with the inlet of the fuel/oil mixture pump, and a remote tank having an interior providing a fuel reservoir, having a fitting releasably connected to the flexible hose, having a top wall including a first opening which is adapted to afford filling of fuel into the interior of the tank and which is adapted to removably receive a cap covering the first opening, and a second opening spaced from the first opening, and having an oil storing, oil pumping and fuel/oil mixing device located in the tank and including an upper wall closing the second opening and being secured to the top wall of the ta
