A starter system (400), for an internal combustion engine (200) including a carburetor (450) and a recoil starter (150), may include a sensor (420), a controller (430) and an actuator (440). The carburetor (450) may have at least a choke valve (322) for controlling a flow of a fresh air into a combustion chamber (232) of the engine (200) during engine start. The choke valve (322) may have a choke position and an open position and may be positioned into the choke position at engine start. The recoil starter (150) may start a rotation of an engine crankshaft causing a fuel supply to the combustion chamber (232) of the engine (200). The sensor (420) may be disposed to detect movement parameters associated with the engine (200) or crankshaft responsive to operation of the recoil starter (150). The controller (430) may be operably coupled to the sensor (420) to receive information indicative of the movement parameters and providing a control signal based on processed information providing an indication of an optimal condition for engine start. The actuator (440) may be configured to receive the control signal from the controller (430) and to initiate automatic repositioning of the choke valve (322) from the choke position to the open position based on receiving the control signal from the controller (430) responsive to the indication of the optimal condition for engine start.

An electric throttle device and a controlling system used for a portable gasoline engine may include a rotation shaft and a throttle mounted on the rotation shaft, the throttle working to open or close the intake channel, and may further include a power unit, a transmission unit in a transmission connection with the power unit, and a controller. The transmission unit is matched with the rotation shaft, and the controller includes a circuit driving module for driving the power unit to control the opening or closing of the throttle. The electric throttle device enables co-movement of the throttle and the choker as well as automatic opening or closing.

A carburetor including a one piece choke valve and shaft assembly including a shaft, a detent plate formed on a first end, a lever arm formed on a second end, a pair of opposing collars formed adjacent the detent plate and lever arm, a valve plate centrally positioned on the shaft, and opposing splines formed on the shaft enabling it to be inserted through an assembly slot cut into a shaft bore in the carburetor body. The detent plate includes a partial annular slot encompassing the angular range of travel of the choke valve. First, second and third detent pockets are formed along an outer edge of the slot. A positive positioning pin engages or interacts with the detent plate to positively position the choke valve in first, second or third angular positions corresponding to close choke, half choke and open choke.

The invention relates generally to portable internal combustion engine powered devices. Public a small engine control combination switch comprising a knob assembly, a bracket and a choke cable, knob assembly includes a fixed plate, characterized in that the fixed plate with a rail; the bracket including a first hole. The choke cable connects with the rail through the first hole. The height of the rail is gradually increased, rail pivot drives the choke cable on the top of the track moves up and down; also further includes a fuel switch, a fixed plate is provided with a rotating shaft, the shaft connecting the fuel switch. The invention through the choke point of engine control, start-up, operation and shut down control, which simplifies the traditional steps of engines, generators and other equipment, greatly simplifying the operation process, improving the operation efficiency.

A combination control assembly of dual fuel internal combustion engine comprises a dial (2) that can be rotated to manipulate operation of a dual fuel internal combustion engine; a turntable (3) includes a disk body (301) and a shift lever (302), characterized in that the shift lever (302) is settled on the disk body (301); a first rotating part (4) that can be rotated by cooperating with the shift lever (302); a second rotating part (9) that can be rotated by cooperating with the shift lever (302); a first fuel valve (6) opened by the first rotating part (4), a second fuel valve (11) opened by the second rotating part (9). The combination control assembly controls the first fuel valve (6) and the second fuel valve (11), simplifying the manual operation and keeping the engine runs stable.

An automatic starting system includes a choke or similar apparatus. The apparatus includes at least a choke plate, a choke arm, and a control arm. The choke plate is configured to control a ratio of fuel and air for an engine. The choke arm is fixedly coupled with the choke plate. The control arm adjustably coupled with the choke arm. The control arm and the choke arm cooperate to move the choke plate into multiple positions, which correspond to multiple ratios of fuel and air for the engine.

A tanker vehicle for distributing liquid on a surface includes a chassis that supports a tank for holding the liquid. A fluid pump discharges the liquid from the tank and is driven by a hydraulic motor. A hydraulic system delivers hydraulic fluid to the motor through a supply line and returns the fluid to a tank through a return line. A bypass circuit is disposed between the supply line and the return line, bypassing the motor. The bypass circuit includes a system for providing a combination soft start and soft stop of the hydraulic motor that is configured to enable hydraulic fluid to flow from the supply line through the bypass circuit to the return line at a start of the hydraulic system and to flow from the return line through the bypass circuit to the supply line at a shutdown of the hydraulic system.
