Abstract

A carburetor has a fuel discharge assembly which is much easier to install than known assemblies. The assembly includes a mounting ring that carries a fuel jet therein with the fuel jet extending radially inwardly relative to the mounting ring. The discharge end of the fuel jet is received in a cylindrical central opening in the mounting ring. The mounting ring is abutted against the side of the carburetor body and is clamped in place by the typical air cleaner assembly that normally abuts to the side of the carburetor body using slightly longer attachment bolts. Thus, the mounting ring is interposed between the inlet end of the airflow passage in the carburetor and the mounting hub of the air cleaner assembly.
