               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 1                 
          through 7, all of the claims in the application.                            


               Appellant’s invention pertains to a fuel supply system for             
          supplying fuel to a direct injected outboard motor.  A basic                
          understanding of the invention can be derived from a reading of             
          exemplary claim 1, a copy of which appears in the APPENDIX to the           
          main brief (Paper No. 8).
