A low-cost mechanical fuel injector that can be utilized in place of a traditional carburetor.
About
Abstract Most small engines still use traditional carburetor technology which produces decreased reliability and increased emissions when compared to fuel injection. Current electronic fuel injection technology is not cost effective for application in small engines. This technology allows for the manufacture of a low-cost mechanical fuel injector that can be utilized in place of a traditional carburetor. Development work to-date suggests that the mechanical injector can be designed to simply replace existing carburetors on production small engines without any significant redesign other than a means to connect the injector to the engine's camshaft.
