Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed that separately delivers air and fuel to an engine carburetor while minimizing the number of components. The fuel tank is integrally formed with the air box and the air filter housing so that the air passageway from the air filter to the carburetor intake is at least partially defined by a common wall between the fuel tank and the air filter housing. The opposite air passageway wall is in part defined by the air filter itself. A flexible, substantially tubular elbow is used to connect the air box outlet to the carburetor intake.
