Abstract:
The engine has a duct connecting the gases in the exhaust gas crossover passage to the intake manifold, the duct normally being closed by a valve that is opened by manifold vacuum that is modulated as a function of carburetor throttle blade opening and connected to the duct past an air-bleed device that normally is open and closed against a spring force by unmodulated manifold vacuum below a predetermined level so that the gas recirculating valve opening signal force varies directly with manifold vacuum decreases to prevent recirculation during engine idle and cruising and wide-open throttle operations while providing controlled operation in the engine accelerating range between.
