In at least some implementations, a fuel metering valve, includes a bobbin defining a passage and having one or more voids in the surface of the bobbin that defines the passage, aa wire coil around the bobbin and an armature. The armature is received within the passage in the bobbin and movable relative to the bobbin from a first position to a second position when electricity is supplied to the wire coil.

An improved rotary type carburetor for a stratified scavenging engine designed to enable the easy adjustment of air and fuel flow at the time of initial configuration is disclosed. The improved rotary carburetor includes an air intake passage and an air-fuel mixture passage formed in a horizontal direction on a carburetor main body. The throttle valve of the improved rotary carburetor can be fitted into a cylindrical-throttle-valve hole formed orthogonal to a fuel and an air passage of the carburetor main body. The throttle valve has the air supply side valve hole formed on the air intake passage side and a fuel supply side valve hole formed on the air-fuel mixture passage side.

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.

An air supply device (1) of a stratified scavenging two-cycle engine includes: a mixture passage (40) that penetrates a carburetor (2) and an insulator (3), the mixture passage being provided by a carburetor-side mixture passage (8) and an insulator-side mixture passage (21); a air passage (41) that is provided by a carburetor-side air passage (9) and an insulator-side air passage (22); a throttle valve (13) provided in a single bore (4) of the carburetor (2), the throttle valve(13) being provided by a butterfly valve that rotates in conjunction with a throttle operation; and a flow rate regulator (28) provided inside the air passage (41), the flow-rate regulator (28) bulging inward in the air passage (41). At least a part of a periphery of a valve body (17) of the throttle valve is close to the flow-rate regulator (28) until the valve body (17) is rotated from an initial position corresponding to an idling speed at a predetermined rotation angle.

In at least some implementations, a valve for a charge forming device, includes a needle having a first end and a second end, and a valve body. The valve body has an axis extending between a first end and a second end, and a cavity open to the second end and in which part of the needle is received with the second end of the needle extending out of the second end of the valve body. The valve body also has a projection extending axially from the first end of the valve body to a free end of the projection, and the valve body has at least one drive surface axially spaced from the free end, the drive surface extends axially and radially.

A charge forming device includes a housing having an inlet chamber in which a supply of fuel is received, a vent passage communicating with the inlet chamber and a throttle bore with an inlet through which air is received, a throttle valve carried by the housing with a valve head movable relative to the throttle bore to control fluid flow through the throttle bore, a vent valve. The vent valve is carried by the housing and has a valve element that is movable between an open position wherein fluid may flow from the inlet chamber through the vent passage and a closed position where fluid is prevented or inhibited from flowing out of the inlet chamber through the vent passage, the vent valve being electrically actuated, and wherein the vent valve is actuated as a function of a pressure within the inlet chamber or the vent passage.
