Abstract
A removable manifold for use with a high performance carburetor having a plurality of jets for supplying separate barrels of the carburetor with liquid fuel from a reservoir, the manifold being in the reservoir extending between and encapsulating the jets to generally equalize the flow of fuel from the reservoir to each jet, regardless of the angle of the fuel level in the reservoir.
Claims5
In a carburetor,
- a liquid fuel reservoir connected to the carburetor for supplying fuel therefor,
- a plurality of spaced identical jets on a horizontal plane adjacent the bottom of the reservoir and having jet ends connected to the reservoir and connected to parts of the carburetor to provide horizontal fuel flow passages directly to the carburetor from the reservoir,
- the improvement comprising:
- removable encapsulating means surrounding jet ends in said reservoir so that the flow of fuel through said identical jets is generally equalized regardless of the angle of the fuel level,
- said encapsulating means having a first opening to said reservoir, and having a flow passage from said first opening to said jets,
- said removable encapsulating means is an elongated member extending between and around said jet ends in said reservoir,
- said member being formed with a pair of spaced second openings communicating with said flow passage adapted to snap fit on the jet ends so as to be secured thereon.
