Abstract
A fuel injection pumping apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine comprises a throttle element 21 for controlling fuel flow between a low pressure and a high pressure pump the latter delivering fuel in timed relationship to the associated engine. The high pressure pump includes a piston movable to control the timing of injection of fuel to the engine. A valve member is movable to control the pressure applied to the piston and the valve member is movable against the action of a spring by fuel pressure, and the force exerted by the spring depends on the position of a lever movable about a fulcrum. The fulcrum is adjustable by a device and the lever is movable about the fulcrum by a cam surface on a slidable member the position of which is determined by an operator adjustable member forming part of a fuel control which determines the setting of the throttle element.
