Abstract
An engine starting fuel enriching system provides a valve that is located downstream of an air feed conduit that is connected in fluid communication with a first fuel conduit. The fuel conduit is connected between a fuel reservoir and the valve. When the valve is in a closed position, both fuel and air are inhibited from flowing in a direction from the fuel reservoir and the air feed conduit toward the air intake manifold of the engine. A heater circuit is used to activate a valve actuator as a function of the temperature of the engine.
