ABSTRACT:
Improvement in peanut clip limiter cap holder, wherein the clip spring legs are interconnected by a spring web that flexes to accommodate flexing of the clip legs free ends during insertion of the associated limiter caps into the retaining clip, and prolongs the effective friction grip service life of the clip. Optional detent dimples on the clip spring legs and cooperative limiter cap grooves enhance yieldable retention of the caps in the clip and the clip on the needle valves. When the peanut clip is used to install only a single limiter cap on a single needle valve, a dummy stud is mounted to the carburetor in the vacant needle valve position and the stud head occupies the vacant limiter cap position in the clip. An improved needle valve is made as an assembly of a lathe-turned tip/shank part and a separate precision die cast head part. The head part has the needle spring stop flange, the fluted spline portion, the limiter cap barb retention structure, and a cavity telescopically receiving a shank stem to rotationally drive couple the shank and head parts in assembly. The shank stem is press fit or cast into the head cavity to permanently join the shank and head parts in fixed relationship, or preferably the head cavity cooperates with the shank stem and a cross arm thereof to form a releasable, telescopic, quarter-turn bayonet coupling. The needle valve spring biases the bayonet coupling to fully locked condition. Coupling axial lost motion insures lock-on of cap retention barbs on the head of the "shorter" needle, and thus final installation lock-on of both limiter caps while being held by the clip. "Side-play" between head and shank parts isolates the needle shank part from adverse needle bending moments.
