-AIR INLET SYSTEM’
Air drawn in via air filter ( 1 ) passes through the air-flow sensor (2’), via butterfly ( 3) and arrives in the inlet
distribution chamber, each pipe of which (4) leads to a cylinder.
-
‘I
Each cylinder has an electro-magnetic injector which is located very close to the inlet valve in order to improve
engine performance.
The supplementary air control (6) is located in parallel with the butterfly, and supplies the supplementary air
required by the engine to run smoothly when cold.
_ Once the engine has reached its normal running temperature, the idling speed air-flow is provided by a by-pass
valve
$
( 5) which by-passes the butterfly as well.

$ It is important that the system be air-tight downstream from the air-flow sensor, so that no (( secondary )) air can

be drawn in, which would falsify the air-volume reading.
