Page 30
TECH Technical features and description Engine control system Outline The F6 adopt the CDI ignition system consisting of the CDI unit and the flywheel magnet. The CDI unit has a compact design with an integrated ignition coil. There are two types of ignition control systems. One is ignition timing control at normal operation, and the other one is ignition cut-off control during engine cranking and when over-revving.
Page 31
Engine control system CDI unit When the permanent magnet a on the flywheel magnet a passes in front of the CDI unit b, the exciter coil b in the CDI unit b induces an electric current c to produce a crank signal d that will be transmitted to the ignition control circuit e.
Page 32
TECH Technical features and description Ignition cut-off control There are two types of ignition cut-off control. One is a system to cut off the ignition during engine cranking without outputting ignition signals a from ignition control circuit b when the engine speed is 150 r/min or lower.
Page 33
Engine control system / Power unit system Power unit system Power unit system Outline F6 feature an OHV engine with a newly designed cylinder head and cylinder block. The decompressor is built into the camshaft to facilitate engine cranking with a manual starter. In addition, a blowby gas reburning system is incorporated to reduce the amount of oil contained in the blowby gases.
Page 34
TECH Technical features and description Automatic decompressor To facilitate engine cranking, the decompression actuator forcefully opens the exhaust valve on the compression stroke to release compression pressure during engine cranking and prevent pressure in the cylinder from increasing. As the cranking speed increases, the decompression actuator will move in the direction of a due to the centrifugal force and the exhaust valve will return to normal operation.
Page 35
Power unit system Blowby gas reburning system A blowby gas reburning system is adopted to be respectful with the environment. To reburn the blowby gases, this engine separates oil from the blowby gases in two labyrinths. First, oil is separated from the blowby gases in the cylinder block labyrinth, and then in the intake silencer labyrinth.
Page 36
TECH Technical features and description Lighting coil The F6 can be equipped with a flywheel magnet, lighting coil, and Rectifier Regulator, available as optional accessories, to enable battery charging. The electrical current generating capacity is 6A when the engine speed is at 6000 r/min. a Lighting coil b Rectifier Regulator c Fuse...
Page 37
Power unit system / Fuel system Fuel system Fuel system Outline This engine is equipped with a simply-designed and reliable butterfly-type carburetor. A built-in primer pump is also provided in order to ease engine starting when the float chamber is empty, or when operating the engine after it has been stored for a long time.
Page 38
TECH Technical features and description Carburetor Idle and low speed operation When the engine is running at idle or at low speed, negative pressure generated in the pilot passage a will be increased. Air is drawn into the pilot passage through the pilot air jet b to be mixed with the fuel that is also sucked into the passage through the pilot jet a.
Page 39
Fuel system Medium speed operation When running at medium speed, the air that has entered through the main bore a flows faster, causing negative pressure to increase in the main bore a. When the negative pressure in the main bore a increases, the fuel is sucked from the main jet a to be mixed with the air that has entered from the main air jet b through the emulsion tube c, and then drawn into the main nozzle b.
Page 40
TECH Technical features and description High speed operation When running at high speed, the throttle valve opening is near the fully open position, and the neg- ative pressure generated in the main bore a becomes even higher. Consequently, a larger amount of air and fuel mixture is drawn from the main nozzle a to be supplied to the engine.
Page 41
Fuel system Built-in primer pump This engine is equipped with a built-in primer pump in order to ease engine starting when the float chamber is empty, or when operating the engine after it has been stored for a long time. The built-in primer pump sends fuel directly to the float chamber in the carburetor without operating the mechanical fuel pump.
Page 42
TECH Technical features and description Lubrication system Outline For the first time in a single-cylinder engine, a trochoid type oil pump has been adopted in order to improve lubrication performance. The oil hole in the crankshaft allows oil to lubricate the crankpin and connecting rod. Oil pump and engine oil flow The oil pump is driven by the camshaft.
Page 43
Lubrication system / Tilt system Tilt system Tilt system Outline The incorporated reverse lock system prevents the outboard motor from tilting up when the shift position is in reverse and the throttle is applied. Reverse lock system In this system, the tilt up function will be automatically locked when shifted in reverse. When the shift lever a is moved to the reverse position, the rod b, which was pushing up the reverse lock c, moves down.
