Measured shot ether system
This patent describes automatic measures shot starting fluid assembly for injecting a predetermined amount of starting fluid into a passageway of an engine. The assembly consists of: a power source to supply electrical current; starter motor means connected to the power source for engaging and rotating the crankshaft of the engine upon being energized by receiving electrical current from the power source; ignition switch means interconnecting the power source and the starter motor means for allowing electrical current to flow to the starter motor means upon closing the switch means for energizing the starter motor; container means for containing and supplying starting fluid; fluid atomizing means disposed in the passageway of the engine for atomizing the starting fluid from the container means into the passageway; value means connected to the container means for measuring a predetermined amount of starting fluid from the container means and injecting the measured amount of starting fluid to the atomizing means; conduit means interconnecting the valve means and the atomizing means for providing a passageway to allow the starting fluid to flow to the atomizing means; and control circuit means, responsive to the ignition switch means being closed and the starter motor being energized, for activating the valve means for a first predetermined timed interval and then deactivating the valve means for a second predetermined time interval; the valve means being activated and deactivated for the first and second time intervals for so long as the ignition switch means is energizing the starter motor whereby measured shots of starting fluid are injected into the engine in a uniform manner while being minimally affected by operator intervention.
