Abstract
Abstract A two cycle i. c. engine adjusted to a certain maximum engine speed at a correct fuel mixture ratio is provided with an electrically adjustable fuel system and a tachometer. The invention is based on the fact that the engine speed is at its maximum at a mixture ratio which provides a carbon monoxide emission below normal. At the maximum engine speed the adjustment of the carburetor is optimized in relation to the mixture ratio by means of a control circuit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
Arrangement in a two-cycle internal combustion engine provided with means (11, 12) for adjusting a ratio of air to fuel (A/F), a control unit (19) having a tachometer (21) and control means (36, 37) for electro-mechanical control of the adjusting means, and means (30, 31, 33, 34) for determining a maximum engine speed, wherein a primary circuit (21) of an engine ignition coil is utilized as a pulse transducer for the tachometer, a differentiating circuit (24) is connected to said tachometer for providing the derivative of the engine speed function, and a starting pulse circuit (35) is connected to said control means and operable in relation to digital circuits (29, 30, 31) connected to said differentiating circuit and to different branches of said control means adapted to increase and reduce the air to fuel ratio, respectively, resulting in a corresponding variation of the engine speed, and a peak value memory (33, 34) is connected to said tachometer to provide a final setting of said adjusting means at said maximum engine speed.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
