Abstract: A carburator for internal combustion engines has a main jet for delivering fuel to be entrained with air as it passes through the carburator to the inlet side of the engine. A throttle valve is disposed downstream of the main jet for controlling the flow of air and entrained fuel. An idling jet disposed downstream of the throttle valve is adapted to deliver fuel to the air stream at a rate sufficient to ensure that the engine continues running while the throttle valve is substantially closed. The idling jet is additionally adaptable to admit air to the stream of air-fuel mixture as it flows through the carburator at higher rates of air flow. Means are provided to switch the idling jet between fuel delivering and air delivering modes in response to engine speed. Thus, at lower engine speeds fuel is delivered through the idling jet and a slightly rich mixture passes to the engine. At higher speeds, air is admitted resulting in a weaker mixture than has been set by the main jet and the throttle valve.

Abstract: During engine cranking and after cranking if engine coolant temperature has not yet exceeded a minimum value, an air bypass valve (dashpot) provides maximum additional air to the engine fuel mixture in addition to the air provided in accordance with engine throttle position. During normal engine run conditions with the throttle not effectively closed, the dashpot provides minimum additional air to the fuel mixture. During deceleration when engine throttle is effectively closed, if engine speed is at least a maximum speed IDLEH and then declines, effective dashpot actuation will be 100% (maximum additional air) for engine speeds at least equal to IDLEH, 0% for engine speeds below a minimum speed IDLEL, and for engine speeds between IDLEH and IDLEL, the change (decrease) in dashpot actuation will be proportional to the change in current engine speed and substantially independent of time. If during deceleration engine speed decreases to IDLEL, then dashpot actuation remains at a minimum.
