DESCRIPTION

The
air

induction

system
A

s
is

adopted
on
the
FU
model
and
Canada

models
and
is

designed
to
send

A

type
check
valve
is

installed
in

the

When
the

exhaust

pressure
is
below

atmospheric

pressure

negative
pressure

secondary

air

is
sent
to
the
exhaust
manifold

When
the
exhaust

pressure
is

above

atmospheric
pressure
the

reed
valve

prevents

secondary
air

from

being
sent

back
to
the
air
cleaner

EC
t8
The

exhaust

pressure
in

the
exhaust

tube

usually
pulsates
in

response
to

the

opening
and

closing
of

the
exhaust

valve
and

it
decreases

below
atmos

pheric
pressure
periodically

If
a

secondary
air
intake
is

opened

to
the

atmosphere
under

vacuum
con

ditions

secondary
air

can
be

drawn

into

the
exhaust
tube
in

proportion
to

the
vacuum

Therefore
the
air
induction

system

A

Tltis
valve
is

controlled

by
intake

manifold
vacuum
to

prevent
backfire

in
the

exhaust

at

At

period

and
burns

in

system
with

The
anti

valve

provides
air

to
the

to
make
the

air

leaner
and

prevents

If
