Objective The objective of this lesson is to: • Learn the three vital systems. • Understand the basic operation of an engine. • Diagnose problems in the system.
Three vital systems • Compression or Air • Fuel • Ignition or Fire
The Four Stroke Cycle • Intake • Compression • Power • Exhaust
Intake • Intake valve opens • Piston moves down • Air fuel mixture enters the cylinder
Compression • Intake valve closed • Piston moves upward • Air-fuel mixture is compressed
Power • Spark plug fires • Ignition proceeds • Piston is forced down
Exhaust • Exhaust valve opens • Piston moves upward • Spent gas pushed into exhaust system
Diagnosis We now look back at the three vital systems to establish a diagnostic routine for the engine. • Fuel • Compression or Air • Ignition or Fire
Fuel system diagnosis • Is there gas in the tank? • Is there gas to the intake manifold? • Filters? • Pressure test?
Compression system • Is the air filter clean? • Is the exhaust system flowing? • Compression Test
Ignition System • Is there spark at the spark plug? • Is there spark from the coil? • Is there power to the coil? • Results of a system diagnostic test?
Summary • Objective • Fuel Compression & Ignition Systems • Four stroke cycle • Diagnostics
