Patent ID: 6899072

Claim:
A choke system for use with an internal combustion engine, the choke system comprising: (a) a vacuum actuator for moving an actuating arm from a first position to a second position, the actuating arm adapted for connection to a choke valve of an internal combustion engine; (b) an air valve in communication with the vacuum actuator; (c) a compressible vacuum mechanism in communication with the vacuum actuator and the air valve, the compressible vacuum mechanism being operable for compression to cause air to discharge through the air valve to create a vacuum in the vacuum actuator to move the actuating arm from the first position to the second position; and (d) whereby the air valve is operable to allow air to enter the vacuum actuator through the air valve to gradually release the vacuum to cause the vacuum actuator to move the actuating arm from the second position to the first position.
