A gaseous fuel mixing device includes a body having an air/fuel passageway and a gaseous fuel passageway in fluid communication with the air/fuel passageway, a throttle valve pivotably coupled to the body and positioned in the air/fuel passageway, and an intake unit coupled to the body. The intake unit includes an inlet configured to be fluidly connected with a source of gaseous fuel, a first jet fluidly communicating the inlet and the gaseous fuel passageway, a second jet selectively fluidly communicating the inlet and the gaseous fuel passageway, and a selector valve operable to control a flow of gaseous fuel through the second jet.

An automatic choke apparatus for use in an internal combustion engine. The choke apparatus includes a choke valve automatically operable in response to the speed of the engine, a thermally conductive assembly that conducts heat from exhaust gases produced by the engine, a thermally responsive member in thermal communication with the thermally conductive assembly, and a mechanism that moves in response to the thermally responsive member to cause the choke valve to remain in at least a partially open position during engine starting when the thermally responsive member senses a temperature above a predetermined temperature. The thermally conductive assembly at least partially surrounds the path of the exhaust gases.
