Abstract

In an internal combustion engine with exhaust means and a carburetor including a fuel bowl, means are provided for delivering fuel to the fuel bowl at a pressure varying in response to the output signal of an air-fuel ratio sensor in the exhaust means to maintain a substantially constant air-fuel ratio to the engine. The fuel supply means may comprise, for example, an electric fuel pump whose input power is varied according to the sensor signal.
