OUTLINE OF THE FI SYSTEM
The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the optimum air-fuel ratio in ac-
cordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric temperature. In the conventional carburetor system,
the air-fuel ratio of the mixture that is supplied to the combustionchamber is created by the volume of the intake air and the
fuel that is metered by the jet used in the respective carburetor.
Despite the same volume of intake air, the fuel volume requirement varies by the engine operating conditions,such as ac-
celeration, deceleration, or operating under a heavy load. Carburetors that meter thefuel through the use of jets have been
provided with various auxiliary devices, so that an optimum air-fuel ratio can be achieved to accommodate the constant
changes in the operating conditions of the engine.
This model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection (FI) system, in place of the conventional carburetor sys-
tem. This system can achieve an optimum air-fuel ratio required bythe engine at all times by using a microprocessor that
regulates the fuel injection volume according tothe engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.
