Model EFI

Interesting watch!    The FS A40 A is just about the exact same bore and stroke as the cylinders on the 917 model

I gotta wonder about a slide plate throttle    In any case....the 50cc scooter  injectors are $10....so I ordered one to take a look at.

I also found this little gem of a channel....

Yes   Bosch mechanical fuel injection....

Hello Dave,

If you are keen to know more about model engine size EFI systems, then have a look at:

https://ecotrons.com/small_engine_fuel_injection_kit/

http://www.uavenginesystem.com/products/small-engine-efi/

The first, offers complete kits or all the component parts (and Data sheets) to make a complete small/ model engine EFI system. Beware, you will spend hours reading about the stuff. They do not include prices, you need to ask.

Cheers

I remember the Ferrari build however the website doesn’t seem to be active anymore. I got the idea of the flame thrower test from his work.

It was some impressive stuff, thread milling the big end bolt holes in the titanium con rods, moulding his own O rings for the injectors, 40 000 rpm spindles, etc.

Flicking through the YouTube site he seems to have experimented with fuel injecting one of the oriental four cylinder four stroke engines.

Hello Dave,

I have found another outfit who can supply EFI systems with 9mm diameter throttle/injector bodies, for engines as small as the 10 cc. RCGF 10 or Saito FG-14

Have a look at https://www.loweheiser.com/drone-efi-systems/

You may be able to find something suitable for single point injection into each cylinder bank of cylinders on your 917, a bit like the twin turbo CANAM engines, but without the turbo

Cheers
