A fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine. The fuel delivery system includes a carburetor housing having an air passage with a throttle valve disposed therein. A choke lever is movably mounted to the carburetor housing for restricting air flow into the air passage. A fuel injection device is provided for injecting fuel into the air passage before the engine is started. Movement of the choke lever to an engaged position simultaneously opens the throttle valve, restricts air flow into the air passage and activates the fuel injection device to inject a predetermined volume of fuel into the air passage. The air-flow restriction and the predetermined volume of fuel are adjusted to compensate for changes in ambient temperature.

A fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine. The fuel delivery system includes a carburetor housing having an air passage with a throttle valve disposed therein. The air passage has an inlet and an outlet. The outlet is in communication with the engine. Means are provided for simultaneously opening the throttle valve, restricting air flow into the air passage and injecting a predetermined volume of fuel into the air passage before the engine is started. Other means are provided for automatically adjusting the restriction of air flow and the predetermined volume of fuel to compensate for changes in ambient temperature.

A fuel priming system for spark ignited internal combustion engines includes a manually actuated plunger pump for delivering liquid fuel from a tank to a reservoir chamber formed in part by a flexible diaphragm. A fuel injection passage leads from the reservoir chamber through a flow restricting orifice to an injection point formed in the engine intake air flow passage downstream of the carburetor venturi. The injection system provides for enriching the fuel-air mixture during cold starting while minimizing the chance of engine flooding. The finite fuel volume in the reservoir chamber also provides a sufficient quantity of fuel for automatic control of a rich fuel-air mixture during engine warm-up.
