How does Hilborn injection work?
Mechanical fuel injection works with a simple throttle-controlled air valve and a fuel pump, usually running at one-half engine speed. After pulling fuel from a vented fuel tank, the fuel is delivered through a barrel valve that controls the amount of fuel with the position of the air valve.
Can you run mechanical fuel injection on the street?
It isn’t easy to operate on the street, but it’s possible with careful tuning and patience. “You’re putting fuel in and you’re getting fuel out,” says Augie Delgado about the basics of mechanical fuel injection.
How is fuel injected into an engine?
Fuel injectors are located in the intake manifold and spray fuel through a tiny nozzle. The fuel injector uses a special nozzle to spray the fuel as mist, instead of a strong jet stream. When the throttle valve opens, your fuel injector sprays fuel to mix with the air and then enters the engine’s combustion cylinders.
Does fuel injection have a choke?
It’s not a choke. It’s really a fast idle thingy (technical term) to bump up the idle speed while the engine is warming up if the fuel injection can’t cope properly when it’s idling and cold.
