Abstract: A charge forming device includes a body with a main bore through which air flows and a fuel inlet through which fuel enters the main bore. A diaphragm defines part of a fuel chamber that leads to a fuel passage. The valve body is received in the fuel passage and has a first end, a second end, a sidewall, a valve passage having an inlet into which fuel from the fuel chamber enters and an outlet from which fuel exits for delivery to the main bore, and a cross passage extending through the sidewall between the first end and the second end and opening into the valve passage. A valve is carried by the body and has a valve head received in the cross passage and extending into the valve passage to at least partially inhibit fuel flow through the valve passage.

Abstract: A float bowl type carburetor has a fuel and air mixing passage extending therethrough, a float bowl assembly, a priming pump communicated with the float bowl assembly and a fuel supply pipe that is communicates fuel in the float bowl assembly with the fuel and air mixing passage. The priming pump is operable to deliver pressurized fluid into the float bowl assembly in the area of the fuel supply pipe. Preferably, the priming pump discharges fluid in line with the fuel supply pipe so that at least some of the fluid discharged from the priming pump flows directly into the fuel supply pipe to facilitate delivering a rich fuel and air mixture to the engine to facilitate starting the engine.

Abstract: A starting device for a rotary throttle valve-type carburetor enables adjustment of the quantity of air and fuel delivered to an engine to facilitate the cold start of the engine. The starting device changes the position of the throttle valve prior to starting the engine to adjust the fuel and air mixture delivered to the engine as desired to facilitate starting and initial warming up of the engine.
