Abstract
A fuel metering apparatus having a metering chamber to hold fuel for subsequent delivery to an engine. A rigid metering member projecting into the chamber linearly movable relative to the chamber to vary the extent of projection of the metering member into the chamber to thereby control the quantity of fuel displaceable from the chamber. An inextensible flexible member secured to the metering member and a motor operated in accordance with the engine fuel demand, the motion of the motor being transmitted to the metering member through the inextensible flexible member. The inextensible flexible member is preferably adjustably coupled to the motor so the limit of movement of the metering member may be set as required.
