Gaseous fuel mixing device
First Claim
1. A gaseous fuel mixing device configured for use with an internal combustion engine, the mixing device comprising:
- a body including an air/fuel passageway, and a gaseous fuel passageway in fluid communication with the air/fuel passageway;
a throttle valve pivotably coupled to the body and positioned in the air/fuel passageway;
an intake unit coupled to the body, the intake unit includingan inlet configured to be fluidly connected with a source of gaseous fuel;
a first jet fluidly communicating the inlet and the gaseous fuel passageway;
a second jet selectively fluidly communicating the inlet and the gaseous fuel passageway; and
a selector valve operable to control a flow of gaseous fuel through the second jet.

Abstract
A gaseous fuel mixing device includes a body having an air/fuel passageway and a gaseous fuel passageway in fluid communication with the air/fuel passageway, a throttle valve pivotably coupled to the body and positioned in the air/fuel passageway, and an intake unit coupled to the body. The intake unit includes an inlet configured to be fluidly connected with a source of gaseous fuel, a first jet fluidly communicating the inlet and the gaseous fuel passageway, a second jet selectively fluidly communicating the inlet and the gaseous fuel passageway, and a selector valve operable to control a flow of gaseous fuel through the second jet.
