Abstract
Abstract A carburetor assembly for stratified charge combustion type engines wherein a rich set carburetor and a lean set carburetor are arranged such that a substantially straight line connects together the centers of an inlet bore of the rich set carburetor and inlet bores of a primary side carburetor and a secondary side carburetor of the lean set carburetor as seen from above. The rich set carburetor is disposed adjacent the primary side carburetor of the lean set carburetor and formed integrally therewith. A float chamber is arranged such that the center of its inclination is disposed in the vicinity of the center line between the main fuel nozzles of the primary side carburetor and the secondary side carburetor. An open end of the main fuel nozzle of the rich set carburetor is disposed at a level higher than open ends of the main fuel nozzles of the primary side carburetor and the secondary side carburetor of the lean set carburetor.
