  • Digital Twin and Triple Spark Ignition in Four- Stroke Internal Combustion Engines of Two- Wheelers
    International Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology (IJIET) Digital Twin and Triple Spark Ignition in Four- Stroke Internal Combustion Engines of Two- Wheelers G.V.N.B.Prabhkar Department Of Mechanical Engineering, V.K.R, V.N.B &A.G.K College of Engineering B.Kiran Babu Department Of Mechanical Engineering, V.K.R, V.N.B &A.G.K College of Engineering K.Durga Prasad Department Of Mechanical Engineering, V.K.R, V.N.B &A.G.K College of Engineering Abstract - Today it is a common trend. It has become a fashion for the people especially living in urban areas to ride such vehicles. Now the companies even want to launch such vehicles that attract the younger generation. This can be achieved by technology known as DTSi. Due to DTSi (digital twin spark ignition) system it is possible to combine strong performance and fuel efficiency. The improved engine efficiency modes have also resulted in lowered fuel consumption. The efficiency of these small engines were enhanced with increased power output just by increasing the number of fuel igniting element i.e. Spark Plug. Spark ignition is one of the most vital systems of an engine. Any variation in the spark timing and number of sparks per minute affects the engine performance severely. Thus a good design and control of the system parameters becomes most essential for optimum performance of an engine. Due to Digital Twin Spark Ignition system it is possible to combine strong performance and higher fuel efficiency. DTSi offers many advantages over conventional mechanical spark ignition system.

  • Small Gasoline Engine Repair, Troubleshooting and Tips
    http://waterheatertimer.org Small Gasoline troubleshooting Engine Repair and Tips Three step approach Determine why a small engine will not start or run properly. Welcome to Find N Choose, your free information site. Fuel - Spark - Compression A gasoline engine needs the following three essentials to "run" In time problems develop with fuel delivery, spark or compression, it only takes one of these to fail to prevent an engine from starting or to run. The first step is to determine which of these is at fault. Three Step Trouble Shooting Spark Place the engine out of bright sunlight, remove the spark plug, reconnect the ignition wire to the spark plug and lie it on the engine head, or metal of the engine, where it makes a path to ground of the engine. Give the rope a tug and observe whether there is a good spark jumping the spark plug electrode gap. A good blue spark is ideal, If there is no spark, try changing the spark plug, and try this test again. No spark indicates ignition problems. 1 of 15 7/25/2011 5:35 PM Small Gasoline Engine Repair, Troubleshooting and Tips http://www3.telus.net/findNchoose/smallenginerepair.html Note the colors and sound to the spark. A fat blue spark that cracks audibly indicates a very good spark. A white spindly sparks indicates a problem in the spark producing mechanism (check grounding of spark coil first) A reddish sparks usually indicate burnt points, or a failing condenser. A weak spark may not ignite the fuel-air under compression. If there is a spark, the problem lies either in fuel delivery, or in the compression of the engine.

  • Technical Information on Considerations When Choosing and Operating a Spark-Plug Sensor Solution
    TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON CONSIDERATIONS WHEN CHOOSING AND OPERATING A SPARK-PLUG SENSOR SOLUTION This paper describes characteristics that must be considered when choosing the correct instrumented spark plugs to substitute for the original standard spark-plugs of an engine in order to allow reliable pressure measurements via the spark-plug bore. Electrode gap The integration of a pressure measurement function requires space inside the spark-plug body. This results in a smaller ceramic insulator for the spark-plug function, and therefore a lower arc-over resistivity. To compensate for the lower arc-over resistivity, the ignition voltage must be low enough to avoid damage to the unit. To reduce the ignition voltage, the Electrode Gap needs to be chosen wisely. This will ensure safe and long lasting operation of the unit. On the other hand, to avoid misfire and therefore insure proper ignition of the air-fuel mixture, the arc of the Electrode Gap requires a minimum length. Choosing this gap will require a tradeoff between a minimum suffi- cient size gap and engine operating condition versus risking an internal arc-over. The maximum Electrode Gap (EG) is determined by the Final Compression Pressure (FCP) from the compression stroke, as this is a convenient metric that is roughly proportional to the demand voltage required to jump the gap in the spark plug. It is neces- sary to match the spark-plug specifications exactly to have reliable firing of the engine and to insure that the demand voltage is not exceeding component limits to avoid permanent damage of the spark-plug sensor assembly.

Please discard all copies of bulletin 07035C. It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. All involved vehicles that are in dealer inventory must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer traded, or used for demonstration purposes until the repair contained in this bulletin has been performed on the vehicle. CONDITION General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 1997-03 model year Buick Regal GS and Pontiac Grand Prix GTP model vehicles, equipped with a 3.8L V6 Supercharged (RPO L67 – VIN 1) engine. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold through hard braking. If this condition occurs, and if a hot surface ignition source were present, an engine compartment fire could occur. CORRECTION Dealers are to replace the engine’s front valve cover and front valve cover gasket with new parts of an improved design.

  • Spark Plug Reading As I See It
    SPARK PLUG READING AS I SEE IT. The information and pictures in this section have been used by me for 40 years with good results. There are other ways to read plugs that I’m sure will give very good results, but this is the way I have done it. Your results may very. Because of so many other influences like the type of premix oil or fuel quality can change the way the spark plug will color. Be careful. Too lean can destroy an engine in seconds. Always be too rich (over dark) when you start to change your jetting. This does not mean only the main jet. The needle and needle jet, if too lean, can do just as much damage. On a motorcross or dirt track you are mostly on or off the throttle (main jet). When you tune for a road race or street bike you are using a lot more middle throttle (needle and needle jet). Always use a new sparkplug when you want to check your jetting. If the sparkplug already has color on it you will not be able to see any jet changes. Don’t throw away any of those plugs with color on them as they are still good, just not for tuning. Make sure the ignition timing is correct for your engine as well as the spark plug heat range. I have a chart for most of the OSSA engines in the tech section. If the wrong heat range plug is used you will not be able to get a correct plug reading.
