Abstract
A fuel metering apparatus having a metering chamber to hold fuel for subsequent delivery to an engine and a rigid metering member projecting into said chamber and 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 for delivery to an engine. An inextensible flexible member between secured to the metering member and to a motor that operate in accordance with the engine fuel demand, the motion of the motor being transmitted to the metering member through the inextensible flexible member. This inextensible flexible member preferably being adjustably coupled to the motor so the limit of movement of the metering member may be set as required.
