Carburetor system for a multi-cylinder engine of a motorcycle

摘要

An apparatus and method for minimizing the extent of lateral projection of left and right banks of carburetors for a multi-cylinder engine of a motorcyle for accommodating the legs of an operator in which the carburetors are supported rearwards of the engine on a frame beneath a seat for a rider, the carburetors being arranged on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis of symmetry along respective lines which are inclined rearwardly toward the front to form an inverse V-shaped arrangement. The outermost carburetors have lateral bounding planes which are inclined inwardly towards the rear within which a tapered casing of an air cleaner is accommdated. The length of air passages extending from the air cleaner to the inlet ports of the cylinders via the carburetors are equalized for all the cylinders.
