A fuel supply device includes a main body, fuel chamber, fuel supply pipe and a fuel valve. The main body has a main bore with an inlet for air and an outlet through which a fuel and air mixture flows. The fuel chamber retains a supply of fuel. The fuel supply pipe has a passage communicating with the main bore and through which fuel from the fuel chamber flows to the main bore. And the fuel valve has a valve seat, a valve element movable relative to the valve seat between an open position and a closed position, an inlet upstream of the valve seat and is in communication with the fuel chamber, and an outlet downstream of the valve seat. The outlet is coaxially aligned with the passage of the fuel supply pipe and the fuel valve is electrically operated to move the valve element.

Provided is an air leading type stratified scavenging two-stroke internal combustion engine including an air passage configured to allow supply of air to a scavenging passage configured to allow communication between a crank chamber and a combustion chamber, at least one sensor configured to detect an operating condition of an engine, and a fuel valve configured to control fuel supply to the air passage based on detection performed by the at least one sensor. The fuel supply to the air passage is controlled by the fuel valve at times other than start and idling of the engine or at needed times in addition to the start or the idling of the engine.

In at least some implementations, a charge forming device includes a body having a main bore, a fuel metering assembly including a diaphragm that defines at least part of a fuel chamber from which fuel is provided to the main bore and a reference chamber separate from the fuel chamber, a passage communicated with a subatmospheric pressure source and with the reference chamber, and an electrically actuated valve having an open position and a closed position, and wherein the valve at least substantially prevents communication of the pressure source with the reference chamber when the valve is in the closed position and permits communication of the pressure source with the reference chamber when the valve is in the open position to vary the rate of fuel flow from the fuel chamber.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a carburetor assembly (7) comprising a control unit (17), an air channel (8), a throttle valve (9), a choke valve (10), a pulsed fuel valve (11), and a fuel supply line (12). The control unit (17) is adapted to control the fuel valve (11) to supply fuel in accordance with a certain start setting, where the choke valve (10) can be open or closed. The carburetor assembly (7) comprises a rotation angle detector assembly (20) with a choke detector part (29) that is mounted to a choke shaft (30) that is connected to the choke valve (10) such that the choke detector part (29) is arranged to rotate together with the choke valve (10). The rotation angle detector assembly (20) further comprises a choke sensor device (23, 33) that is connected to the control unit (17) and can be affected by the choke detector part (29) such that the choke sensor device (23, 33) provides different output signals to the control unit (17) in dependence of whether the choke valve (10) is open or closed.

An automatic choke device of a carburetor includes a wax attached to an engine main body, a rod configured to perform a linear motion in conjunction with expansion of the wax, a choke lever configured to rotate in conjunction with the linear motion of the rod, and a choke shaft arranged so as to be able to abut against the choke lever and connected to a choke valve of the carburetor. The choke lever includes a flat portion that engages with an engaging portion of the choke shaft, and a circular arc portion that is formed in a circular arc shape so as to be continuous from the flat portion and is brought into sliding contact with the engaging portion of the choke shaft.

A mixture formation unit has a base body in which an intake channel section is formed. The intake channel section extends from a first end side of the base body to a second end side of the base body. The mixture formation unit has at least one rectilinearly extending channel which opens into the intake channel section. The channel opens at the first end side of the base body. The mixture formation unit is preferably provided for a two stroke engine whose intake channel is divided downstream of the mixture formation unit into a mixture channel and an air channel.
