ABSTRACT:
A flow rate control mechanism is provided to a low-speed fuel system that is independent from the main fuel system of a carburetor. The mechanism causes the valve element to move in a linear fashion by means of a cam coupled to the throttle stem. The mechanism increases the effective cross-sectional area of the low-speed fuel channel as the throttle valve opens from the idle position to the maximum degree of opening until the point in time at which the main fuel begins to flow, and thereafter causes the low-speed fuel flow rate to decrease and become zero in the high-output region. The transition from low-speed fuel to main fuel is made smooth, ensuring higher output and a stable fuel flow rate in the high-output region.
