Abstract

A device for adjusting the degree of opening of the throttle valve of a carburetor comprising a cam pivotally mounted on a pivot. The cam is actuated by a wax valve and rotated in accordance with an increase in the temperature of the cooling water of the engine. The cam has a cam face which is engageable with a lever connected to the throttle valve for retaining the throttle valve at a predetermined fast idling degree during engine warm-up. An auxiliary lever is pivotally mounted on the pivot. The auxiliary lever has an outer circumferential face which is engageable with the lever of the throttle valve for retaining the throttle valve at the predetermined fast idling degree after completion of engine warm-up.
