Abstract: A solenoid type flow control valve having a valve body formed with an outlet and inlet ports, a cylindrical core disposed in the valve body between the inlet and outlet ports and formed with a suitable number of valve ports for connecting the inlet port with the outlet port, a valve member slidable along the outer surface of the core to cover the valve ports, a linear motor assembly for moving the valve member to uncover the valve ports, and fluid flow passages formed around the linear motor assembly so that the fluid from the inlet port is introduced through the passages into the valve ports.

Abstract: A fuel pump for an internal combustion engine including a casing wherein partition walls divide the upper space of said casing into a fuel drawing chamber receiving fuel from a fuel tank, a fuel chamber discharging the fuel to a carburetor and a vapor separating chamber communicating with the fuel tank. A space between the fuel chamber and the vapor separating chamber enables the communication of the fuel chamber with the vapor separating chamber, so that a large portion of the vapor produced in the fuel chamber removes to the vapor separating chamber and can be returned to the fuel tank, with the result that fuel substantially free from vapor can be supplied to the carburetor.
