Abstract
An induction system for a two-cycle crankcase compression internal combustion engine of the type employed in an outboard motor. As such, the engine has vertically disposed crankcase chambers. Two barrel carburetors serve the crankcase chambers of the cylinder pairs through an intake manifold which has respective intake passages that each slope downwardly so as to avoid variations in mixture strength.
Claims7
An induction system for a crankcase compression internal combustion engine having a crankcase defining a pair of crankcase chambers vertically disposed relative to each other and each having a respective inlet, an inlet for said induction system comprising a pair of side by side inlet openings disposed in a common horizontally extending plane spaced a substantial distance above said crankcase inlets, charge forming means for delivering a fuel air mixture to each of said inlet openings, and a manifold affixed to said crankcase and defining a first intake passage extending from one of said inlet openings downwardly to a first of said crankcase chamber inlets and a second intake passage extending from the other of said inlet openings downwardly to the other of said crankcase chamber inlets.
