Abstract: A fuel distribution system for an engine (10) having the fuel nozzles (74) located downstream from the air intake reed valves (52) to prevent the operation of the reed valves (52) from effecting the dual flow to the combustion chambers (42) through the transfer tubes (26). A manually operated pump (106) responds to an operator input to add or subtract fuel supplied to a flow divider (98) by a fuel valve (104) to provide a substantially immediate response from the engine to the operator input. A choke (160) receives an input from the engine to allow the mass air flow responsive fuel valve (104) to supply the flow divider (98) with an additional quantity of fuel during a starting operation.

Abstract: The invention provides an internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder block having therein a bore and first, second and third openings each communicating with the bore. A cover member having therein first and second cavities is removably attachable on the cylinder block with the first cavity communicating with the first bore opening and the second cavity communicating with each of the second and third bore openings. The cover member cavities and the associated bore openings together form passages communicating with the bore.
