Abstract

A power plant including an internal combustion engine having a rotary output, a fuel injection pump having a rotary input adapted to be driven by the rotary output in timed relation thereto, and structure interconnecting the input and output including first and second spaced, nonengaging gears, one connected to the input and the other connected to the output, a third gear disposed between and engaging both the first and second gears, a movable carrier journalling the third gear and mounting the third gear for movement whereby the rotational axis of the third gear may be shifted relative to at least one of the first and second gears, and a selectively operable motor connected to the carrier for moving the same to shift the third gear to selectively alter the phasing between the engine and the fuel pump.
