Patent ·
OSTI ID:6023919
This patent describes a variable venturi type carburetor composed of a number of interacting components. A crucial component is a slide valve slidably supported in a carburetor body for variable positioning across the intake passage of the carburetor body to function as a variable venturi. Also described is a butterfly throttle valve pivotably supported by the carburetor body in the intake passage downstream of the slide valve. Another component is a low-speed fuel passageway and a main fuel passageway which opens into the intake passage. The final component described is an interlocking means operatively connecting the slide valve and throttle valve for interlocked operation as well as a control means to apply external force to the valves for their operation.
