Abstract
A motorcycle powered by a two cycle crankcase compression fuel injected internal combustion engine. The injection system for the engine includes a main fuel air/injector that injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber and a second or auxiliary fuel injector that injects fuel into the induction system for the engine. Control means control the fuel injectors so that the second or auxiliary fuel injector supplies fuel only during starting and high load, high speed conditions. The engine components are laid out in such a way that the spark plugs of the engine and the fuel injector will each be exposed to unobstructed air flow for cooling.
Claims18
A water cooled internal combustion engine for powering a motor vehicle having an engine area in which said engine is positioned and through which air flows in a normal direction, said engine having a cylinder head, a park plug mounted in said cylinder head for firing a charge in a combustion chamber of said engine, a fuel injector mounted in said cylinder head for delivering fuel to said combustion chamber, said fuel injector and said spark plug being mounted so that the air flowing through said engine area passes unobstructedly across each of said spark plug and said fuel injector without the flow across one interfering with the flow across the other, and a radiator for exchanging heat from the water coolant of said engine to the atmosphere and disposed at about the same vertical height as and to one side of said spark plug and fuel injector in the direction of air flow.
