An engine-knock controlling system for a carburetor-based engine includes one or more cylinders in which combustion occurs, wherein the system also includes a plurality of knock sensors coupled to an engine block, a first wiring harness, a first control unit, a second wiring harness, and a second control unit or an intermediate control unit, or a second control unit and intermediate control unit. The knock sensor(s) detects threatening engine-knock noise as an audible signal and transmits a signal through the wiring harnesses and control units to generate an ignition retarding action to correct the engine misfire and eliminate the knock/ping. Once the engine knock event is resolved, the processor of the first control unit transmits via the second wiring harness a signal to the second control unit or to the intermediate control unit, or to the second control unit and the intermediate control unit, to allow full-advance of ignition timing.
An engine knock controlling system for a carburetor-based engine, the system comprising:
A method of controlling the engine knock of a carburetor-based engine, the method comprising the steps of:
A method of controlling the engine knock of a carburetor-based engine using an engine knock controlling system having a plurality of knock sensors coupled to an engine block, a first wiring harness, a first control unit, a second wiring harness, and a second control unit, the first wiring harness operatively coupling the knock sensors and the first control unit, the second wiring harness operatively coupling the first control unit and the second control unit, and the method comprising the steps of:
