Abstract

A fuel supply installation is disclosed, which is constructed so that a novel means having an electric-spark ignition plug is provided underneath the intake manifold for generating a fuel vapor containing partially oxidized fuel components, and a connecting means between the fuel vapor generating means and the carburetor is also provided, which allows the produced fuel vapor to be sucked into the carburetor thereby mixing said fuel vapor with the mixture having a very large air-fuel ratio pre-established by the carburetor.
