Abstract: A throttle body fuel injection system and method that is arranged to easily replace four-barrel carburetors includes a throttle body assembly with four main bores, each with a throttle plate and an associated fuel injector. Each injector feeds fuel into a circular fuel distribution ring via a fuel injection conduit, which introduces pressurized fuel into the air stream. The fuel distribution rings and bores have profiles that avoid constrictions for to prevent low pressure zones according to the Venturi effect. The throttle body includes an idle air control circuit having a port opening into main intake bores downstream of the point of fuel distribution into the air stream, thereby reducing the tendency for a lean fuel mixture at idle. An ECU “feed forward” algorithm controls fuel injection as a function of the position of the idle air control valve.

Abstract: A gaseous fuel and air mixing venturi device is adapted for installation in a gaseous fuel carburetor and has a venturi body defining annular inner and outer venturi passageways which each have a throat of reduced cross-sectional area and have inlet ends in communication with an air inlet of the carburetor. A fuel inlet is configured for connection to a fuel port of the carburetor, and communicates with a plurality of fuel supply ports in the body communicating radially with the inner and outer venturi passages to mix with the air flowing in the passageways.

Abstract: A carburetor includes a main body defining a bore, a main passage and a venturi defined within the bore, and a fuel nozzle carried by the main body and including a fuel nozzle outlet communicating with the venturi. The carburetor may also include a valve member translatable across an axis of the bore, such that in a closed state, the valve member closes the main passage but maintains the venturi at least partially open. The carburetor may also include a needle valve disposed at an end of the fuel nozzle substantially opposite of the fuel nozzle outlet to variably control flow of fuel into a fuel nozzle inlet, and a needle valve transmission may be coupled between a throttle shaft and the needle valve to convert rotation of the throttle shaft to translation of the needle valve.

Abstract: Carburetor for an internal combustion engine showing a suction port (1) which is in connection with the combustion chamber of the motor and which is fed with liquid fuel via a nozzle (3) and a fuel channel (3.1), which leads into the suction port (1). A linearly movable valve needle (5) is arranged to extend into the fuel channel (3.1) mainly perpendicular to its longitudinal direction and to open or close this, whereby the suction port (1) is possible to throttle down or close with a throttle (4) which is movable between an open position and a closed position. The valve needle is in connection with a maneuver arm (6), which in turn is in connection with the throttle (4) and is arranged to open the nozzle (3) when the throttle (4) is opened and to close when the throttle (4) is closed.

Abstract: A variable venturi carburetor for a combustion engine has an uprighted cup-shaped piston head which forms an integral part of a venturi within a fuel-and-air mixing passage carried by a carburetor body, and a needle that projects rigidly downward from the head into a fuel feed passage. The position of the piston head controls air flow by adjusting the air flow cross-section of the variable venturi, and the needle simultaneously controls fuel flow into the fuel-and-air mixing passage at the venturi via obstruction of the fuel feed passage. The piston head and needle move in unison by a flexible diaphragm engaged to and disposed above the head. An atmospheric chamber is defined below the diaphragm and a vacuum chamber is defined generally above the diaphragm. A vacuum passage extends through the bottom of the head communicating between the fuel-and-air mixing passage at the venturi and the vacuum chamber.

Abstract: A carburetor for an internal combustion engine including a body having an air inlet opening and air outlet opening. A throat is disposed in the body between the air inlet and outlet openings. A slide assembly is movably disposed in the body for crosswise movement across the throat. The slide assembly includes a stepped portion upstream of the throat and the lower portion of the air inlet opening is narrowed for concentrating and compressing the air entering the throat. A reservoir containing fuel is attached to the body. The fuel reservoir includes a fuel outlet located in the throat. An adjustable metering rod extends through the slide assembly and throat into the fuel reservoir. A recessed scoop is located in the body above the air inlet opening and is in air flow communication with the fuel reservoir.
