Flexible coupling for carburetors

摘要

A fuel supply assembly including carburetors with separate throttle shafts in general axially alignment, and a U-shaped coupling for flexibly connecting the carburetor throttle shafts. The coupling includes a bight connected to a pair of legs each having a free end including a U-shaped member having a pair of arms with apertures for receiving one of the carburetor throttle shafts, each of the U-shaped members also including an arcuate bight having arcuate side portions separated by a centrally located slot communicating with the arm apertures, and also including a nut and bolt arrangement extending through the U-shaped member transverse to the throttle shaft for squeezing the arcuate side portions to reduce the opening size of the slot and arm apertures, whereby the pair of arms in each of the U-shaped members engages a separate one of the carburetor throttle shafts so that the pair of carburetor throttle shafts are flexibly coupled for common rotation.
