Automatic fuel shutoff

1. A carburetor comprising:

a carburetor chamber configured to mix air and fuel;

a fuel valve chamber configured to supply the fuel to the carburetor chamber;

a carburetor chassis including the fuel valve chamber and the carburetor chamber;

a combination lever including a longitudinal handle and a cylindrical portion, wherein the fuel valve chamber is configured to support the cylindrical portion;

a directional cavity formed in the cylindrical portion of the combination lever and configured to regulate a supply of the fuel to the carburetor chamber according to a rotation of the combination lever; and

an abutment portion of the combination lever configured to engage a switch for completing an electrical shutoff path to an engine coupled to the carburetor,

wherein the directional cavity of the cylindrical portion of the combination lever is configured to receive the flow of fuel from a fuel intake and deliver the flow of fuel, through the directional cavity, to the carburetor chamber through an output path, wherein the fuel intake and the output path are in a direction substantially perpendicular to the rotation of the combination lever.

2. The carburetor of claim 1 , wherein the abutment portion of the combination lever is configured to linearly engage the switch in response to the rotation of the combination lever.

3. The carburetor of claim 2 , wherein the abutment is configured to vertically depress a rounded portion of the switch to complete an electrical connection to kill the engine coupled with the carburetor.

4. The carburetor of claim 1 , further comprising:

a choke valve in the carburetor chamber, wherein the choke valve is configured to control a flow of air into the carburetor; and

a venturi between the choke valve and the fuel valve chamber, wherein the venturi is configured to create a vacuum pressure for drawing fuel into the carburetor chamber from the fuel valve chamber.

5. A method comprising:

receiving a force at a longitudinal handle of a combination lever;

rotating a cylindrical portion of the combination lever in response to the force received at the longitudinal handle, wherein the longitudinal handle is integrally formed with the cylindrical portion;

controlling a flow of fuel to a carburetor chamber according to a first position of the combination lever and a directional cavity formed in the cylindrical portion, wherein controlling the flow of fuel to the carburetor chamber comprises:

receiving the flow of fuel at the directional cavity formed in the cylindrical portion from a first path; and

dispensing the flow of fuel from the directional cavity formed in the cylindrical portion to a second path, wherein the first path is substantially parallel to the second path; and

initiating an actuation of an automatic shutoff switch in response to a second position of the combination lever, wherein the automatic shutoff switch is configured to complete an electrical connection to cease operation of an engine.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the carburetor chamber is integrally housed in a casing along with a valve chamber configured to support the cylindrical portion of the combination lever.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein controlling the flow of fuel to the carburetor comprises stopping the flow of fuel to the carburetor at the first position of the combination lever.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the actuation of the automatic shutoff switch is in a direction substantially perpendicular to the force at the longitudinal handle of the combination lever.

9. An apparatus comprising:

a casing shaped to form a valve chamber and a carburetor chamber;

a combination lever including a longitudinal portion and a cylindrical portion, wherein the valve chamber of the casing is configured to support the cylindrical portion;

a directional cavity formed in the cylindrical portion of the combination lever and configured to regulate a flow of fuel to the carburetor chamber according to a rotation of the combination lever; and

an abutment portion of the combination lever configured to engage a switch for completing an electrical shutoff path to an engine coupled to the apparatus, wherein the abutment portion of the combination lever is configured to engage the switch in response to the rotation of the combination lever,

wherein the directional cavity of the cylindrical portion of the combination lever is configured to receive the flow of fuel from a fuel intake and deliver the flow of fuel through the directional cavity to an output path.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the fuel intake and the output path are parallel.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the fuel intake and the output path are in a direction perpendicular to the rotation of the combination lever.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising:

a disk-shaped gasket configured to connect and align the directional cavity of the cylindrical portion of the combination lever to the fuel intake and to the output path to the carburetor chamber.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the combination lever is configured to depress the switch in a substantially vertical direction.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the switch is an automatic shutoff switch, and the abutment portion is a first rounded abutment integrally formed with the combination lever configured to contact a second rounded abutment of the automatic shutoff switch to perform the actuation on the automatic shutoff switch.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein a default position of the automatic shutoff switch is open.

16. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the carburetor chamber includes a float bowl portion.

17. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the combination lever including the longitudinal portion and the cylindrical portion is formed from a single mold.

18. The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

a fastener receptacle configured to receive a fastener for securing the switch and the combination lever to the apparatus.
