What kind of fuel injection does a Harley Davidson use?
The Magneti-Marelli system used on EVO and Twin Cam FLH’s until 2001 and Buell XL engines is an Alpha-N EFI system. On these bikes, load sensing is determined by the throttle position. The newer Delphi EFI system used on current Twin Cam engines is a Speed Density system.
How does a fuel injection system work on a motorcycle?
EFI Basics. In its simplest terms, an electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is a computer controlled fuel delivery system. This electronic control unit (ECU) reads various sensors located on the vehicle and makes the determination of how much fuel to allow the engine to have based on this information.
Can a fuel injector be unclogged while in the engine?
Although there are many products such as injection cleaning additives that claim it can clean or unclog a clogged fuel injector while it is in the engine, they cannot. For any of these products to work they actually have to get inside the injector.
What to do if your fuel injector is not delivering fuel?
Start the engine. It should sound the same. Remove the spark plug. If the spark plug is dry, then the injector does not deliver fuel to that cylinder. If the spark plug is wet and smells like gasoline, then the injector on that cylinder is not your problem. Moving the suspect injector to another cylinder is one way of diagnosing the problem.
