Claims
- 1. An enrichment system for an internal combustion engine having an induction system, a charge forming device for supplying a fuel/air mixture to said induction system, means including first control valve means for selectively supplying enrichment fuel to said induction system at a pressure greater than atmospheric, and means including second control valve means for supplying enrichment air to said induction system at at least atmospheric pressure in response to the supply of enrichment fuel, said first and said second control valve means comprising a common member for controlling both fuel and air flow.
- 2. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the means for supplying enrichment fuel further includes pumping means separate from the charge forming device for pumping the fuel to the engine.
- 3. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 2 wherein the fuel for enrichment is supplied from the charge forming means.
- 4. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 3 wherein the control valve means are both opened on starting of the engine.
- 5. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 3 wherein the control valve means are both opened upon low temperature running.
- 6. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 5 wherein the control valve means are both closed after the engine has run for a time period.
- 7. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 1 further including means for pressuring the air delivered to the engine for enrichment.
- 8. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 7 wherein the enrichment air is mixed with the pressurized fuel in a jet pumping device for pressurization of the air by the pressurized fuel flow.
- 9. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the enrichment air is supplied to an area in the induction system that is at a lower than atmospheric pressure.
- 10. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the common member is solenoid operated.
- 11. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the common member is normally maintained in an opened position and is closed by a heating device that supplies heat when the engine is switched on for closing the valve after a predetermined time period.
- 12. An enrichment system for an internal combustion engine having an induction system, a charge forming device for supplying fuel/air mixture to said induction system, pumping means for pumping fuel under pressure, means including first control valve means for selectively supplying a pressurized flow of said pumped fuel to said induction system at a pressure greater than atmospheric, and means including second control valve means for supplying enrichment air for mixture with the pressurized fuel and delivery to said induction system at at least atmospheric pressure.
- 13. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 12 wherein the fuel for enrichment is supplied from the charge forming means.
- 14. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 13 wherein the enrichment fuel is supplied on starting of the engine.
- 15. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 13 wherein the enrichment fuel is supplied for low temperature running.
- 16. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 15 wherein the enrichment fuel supply is stopped after the engine has run for a time period.
- 17. An enrichment system as set forth in claim 12 wherein the enrichment air is mixed with the fuel in a jet pumping device.
