INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
An internal combustion engine includes an engine body defining a combustion chamber, an ignition device configured to ignite mixture in the combustion chamber, an operation device configured to receive a stop operation to stop the internal combustion engine, a controller configured to stop the ignition device from igniting the mixture in response to reception of the stop operation by the operation device, a carburetor configured to supply fuel to an intake passage that communicates with the combustion chamber, a switching valve provided in the intake passage, and an adjustment device configured to adjust an opening degree of the switching valve, wherein the adjustment device is configured to close the switching valve in conjunction with the reception of the stop operation by the operation device.

CHARGE FORMING DEVICE WITH ADJUSTABLE VALVE LIMITER
A charge forming device may have a rotatable fuel adjustment valve received in a passage of a body of the device. A limiter cap may have a driving feature engageable with a drive feature on the valve and having a first position permitting rotation of the valve relative to the limiter cap and a second position permitting only lesser rotation of the valve than that of the first portion. The limiter cap may have a tamper restraint feature that retains the lesser range of rotation.
Four stroke engine, handheld work apparatus having a four stroke engine, and method for operating a four stroke engine
A mixture-lubricated four stroke engine has a cylinder in which a combustion chamber is formed. The combustion chamber is delimited by a piston which is mounted movably in the cylinder. The engine has an intake channel which discharges into the combustion chamber via an inlet opening controlled by an inlet valve. A mixture formation unit includes at least one fuel opening which discharges into the intake channel. For the lubrication of the crankcase interior, a flow connection connects the intake channel to the crankcase interior via a connecting opening which discharges into the intake channel downstream of the mixture formation unit. The fuel quantity is controlled by a fuel valve. A control unit is configured to activate the fuel valve in a manner dependent on the position of the crankshaft such that the fuel valve is opened at least also during a part of the compression stroke.

Charge forming device with adjustable valve limiter
In at least some implementations, a limiter cap assembly for a carburetor having a cavity in which one or more adjustable valves are received, includes a plug adapted to be received within a cavity of the carburetor and having an opening and a cavity aligned with the opening, a clasp engageable with the plug and having at least one retention feature and an opening aligned with the opening of the plug, and a limiter cap received within the opening of the plug and engaged with the retention feature of the clasp. Removal of the limiter cap from the plug opening is prevented by engagement of the retention feature with the limiter cap and by engagement of the clasp with the plug.
Batteryless dual fuel engine with liquid fuel cut-off
A dual fuel engine includes an engine operable on a gaseous fuel and a liquid fuel and a switch to change operation of the engine between gaseous fuel and liquid fuel. The dual fuel engine also includes a carburetor attached to an intake of the engine to mix air and fuel and connect to a gaseous fuel source and a liquid fuel source. A liquid fuel cut-off attaches to the carburetor to interrupt liquid fuel upon actuation of the switch from liquid fuel to gaseous fuel.
