Carburetion system for a V-type internal combustion engine

Abstract

An improved carburetion system for a V-type internal combustion engine including a first carburetor and a second carburetor disposed in a space between a first cylinder and a second cylinder arranged in the form of V-shape and adapted to supply an air-fuel mixture to the respective cylinders. The respective carburetors each includes an intake barrel and a float chamber in which fuel to be supplied to said intake barrel is stored, said intake barrel having an inlet port and an outlet port and defining an intake passage leading to the associated cylinder. The intake barrels of both the carburetors are arranged in the ultimate proximity of one another in such a manner that they intersect one another and a point of intersection of the intake barrels is offset from the middle part of the intake barrels toward the inlet port of the latter. Thus, the respective float chambers are located in a space between both the intake barrels below the point of intersection.
