• Each time the injector button is pressed and
■ released, fuel is forced from the fuel tank to
• ■ the accumulator chamber.
• The accumulator chamber provides a sec­
ondary fuel supply until the carburetor can
obtain fuel through the primary line
• When the accumulator chamber is full, fuel
is injected into the carburetor manifold to
provide a rich mixture for starting.
• Excess fuel escapes through a drain to
prevent the engine from flooding if the
injector button is pressed too many times.
As a result, a few drops of fuel may appear
on the ground during the starting procedure.
• The number of injections required will
depend on temperature conditions and the
time elapsed since the engine was last
started.
