  • Page 111 sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • Printed circuit board action delivers 12 volts DC to the fuel solenoids (FS1 & FS2), via Wire 14. The fuel solenoids energize open and fuel is available to the engine. Wire 14 supplies power to the choke solenoid (CS). Circuit board action grounds Wire 90, energizing the choke solenoid cyclically during cranking and continuously while running.

    sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis enGine Startup and runninG With the fuel solenoids open and ignition occurring, the engine starts. Engine startup and running may be briefly described as follows: • Voltage pulses from the ignition magnetos are delivered to the circuit board via Wire 18. Once the circuit board determines that the engine is running, the circuit board (a) terminates cranking, and (b) terminates the choke solenoid (CS), and (c) turns on an “engine warm-up timer”.
  • Page 113 sEctioN 4.2 Part 4 DC CONTROL oPEratioNal aNalYsis • The “engine warm-up timer” will run for about 5 seconds. When this timer finishes timing, board action will initiate transfer to the STANDBY power source. As shown in Figure 4 (below), the timer is still running and transfer has not yet occurred.
