Abstract: In a distribution type fuel injection system, the fuel injection advance angle, or the relative angular position at which fuel injection begins, is controlled by a first spring loaded piston (44). The spring force is opposed by pressurized fuel from a pump (14), the pressure increasing with engine speed. A second spring loaded piston (49) moves the first piston (44) to an advanced position for starting the engine and is retracted when the fuel pressure reaches a certain value to subsequently retard the advance angle in an idling speed range. The fuel pressure moves the first piston (44) to progressively advance the angle in a higher speed range. An electromagnetic valve (62) is controlled to trap fuel and apply a hydraulic lock to the second piston (49) during starting of the engine to prevent retarding of the advance angle until the engine speed or coolant temperature reaches a predetermined value.

Abstract: A start lever (56) and a tension lever (18) are rotatable about a pin (19). The tension lever (18) is connected to a fuel control sleeve (28) so that an amount of fuel pumped and injected into an engine depends on the position of the tension lever (18) and sleeve (28). Upon rotation of flyweights (13), a governor rod (52) is urged through a hole (54) in the start lever (52) toward the tension lever (18) against the force of a start spring (22). A flange (53) formed on the governor rod (52) abuts against the start lever (18) so that the force of the start spring (22) is transmitted to the flyweights (13). The end of governor rod (52) abuts against the tension lever (18) at a certain engine speed so that further movement of the governor rod (52) is opposed by a governor spring (26) connected to the tension lever (18).

A second spring loaded piston (49) moves the first piston (44) to an advanced position for starting the engine and is retracted when the fuel pressure reaches a certain value to retard the advance angle in an idling speed range. The fuel pressure moves the first piston (44) to progressively advance the angle in a higher speed range. An O-ring (61) is provided to an end of the second piston (49) which abuts against an end wall (53) so that the fluid pressure receiving area of the second piston (49) is small when the second piston (49) abuts against the end wall (53) but is greater when the second piston (49) is moved away from the end wall (53).
