  • Patent number: 8104446
    Abstract: Screw holes are provided on a contacting surface of an insulator so as to enable a carburetor to be mounted on the insulator at a plurality of positions rotated about an axial center of an intake hole. The insulator is mounted on a cylinder at a predetermined position while the carburetor is mounted on the insulator by inserting bolts for mounting the carburetor into the screw holes through through holes of the carburetor. Accordingly, the carburetor can be mounted at a plurality of positions rotated about the axial center of intake holes relative to an engine body. Thus, a protruding direction of a throttle lever from the carburetor, i.e., an operating direction of the throttle lever, can be changed.

  • Patent number: 7717722
    Abstract: A cable terminal includes: a crimped portion crimped to a cable body; an extending piece provided integrally with the crimped portion to extend forward in an insertion direction; and a conductor conducting piece provided integrally with the crimped portion to face an end face of the cable body. An end of the extending piece abuts on an inner surface of a plug cap made of an elastic body to determine a position in terms of the insertion direction. The extending piece is provided with a springy press piece that projects to a plug terminal of an ignition plug inserted into the plug cap and contacts an end face of the plug terminal. The conductor contacting piece is sandwiched between a portion of an outer circumference of the plug terminal and a core exposed from the end face of the cable body. The plug terminal is disposed to be in tight contact with the inner surface of the plug cap.

  • Publication number: 20090165747
    Abstract: A two-stroke engine includes an ignition module that receives a detection signal from a magnetic sensor for detecting a permanent magnet and transmits an ignition signal to an ignition plug. The permanent magnet is provided at a single position on a flange that rotates synchronously with the magnetic sensor. The magnetic sensor is attached to one of sensor attachments and provided at two positions adjacent to the engine body. The sensor attachments and are so provided as to correspond to a rotational direction of the engine. With such an arrangement, the permanent magnet is less affected by noise because the permanent magnet is disposed at only one position. By changing a position at which the sensor is attached, the engine having common components is enabled to work in the same manner during both of normal rotation and reverse rotation.
