  • Pumping and metering system
    Patent number: 3946551
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electromechanical pumping and fuel metering means interfacing an electronic fuel control adapted for small engines. A centrifugal engine driven pump and electrically driven pump are combined such that the electrically driven pump pressurizes the fuel at low crank up speeds and continuously meters fuel to the burner section and the centrifugal pump pressurizes the fuel at all other times, so as to utilize the centrifugal pump during its high efficiency regime and the electrically driven pump when the centrifugal pump is not at its high efficiency regime.
