INJECTORS
The injectors have the task of supplying the
quantity of fuel required for the operation of
the engine: the fuel is injected into the inlet
manifold, immediately upstream of the inlet
valve.
The injector is the "top-feed" type, with the
supply of the fuel from the rear of the casing,
where the electrical winding connected to
the connector (6) is also housed.
When the current passes through the wind
ing, the magnetic field produced attracts the
shutter causing the opening of the injector
and the flow of fuel.
As the pressure differential between the in
side and the outside of the injector is con
stant (thanks to the presence of the regula
tor), the quantity of fuel supplied, like the
electrical voltage, only depends on the open
ing time, established by the control unit.
The end section of the injector or nose (4) is
fitted with a jet (3) which gives the fuel a ro
tary motion, thanks to a deflector (2) fitted
with four tangentially positioned flow ports.
The resistance of the injector can be mea
sured by disconnecting the connector and
connecting an ohmmeter as shown inthe di
agram.
Value of the resistance: 12 ± 1,2 ohm.
