Abstract
A starter system for a hot internal combustion engine, the starter system including a first valve which opens upon starting of the engine in a heated state to permit supplemental air to be drawn into the engine intake passage to dilute the air-fuel mixture therein, and a second valve down stream of the first valve arranged to cut off supplemental air flow as vacuum pressure corresponding to complete firing of the engine develops in the intake passage.
