Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection system for a two cycle engine having main fuel injectors that inject directly into the engine combustion chambers and a sub or auxiliary fuel injector that injects into the induction system only under high load conditions to effect better piston cooling. Once the sub fuel injector begin to inject, then the amount of fuel per cycle injected by the main fuel injectors is decreased. The sub injector injects into a common manifold for a multiple cylinder engine and injects only one per crankshaft revolution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A fuel injection system for a crankcase compression internal combustion engine having a combustion chamber, an induction system including a crankcase chamber for delivering a charge to said combustion chamber, a first fuel injector for injecting fuel directly into said combustion chamber, a second fuel injector for injecting fuel into said induction system, and control means for controlling the amount of fuel injected by each of said fuel injectors so that said second fuel injector injects fuel only when the engine speed and load are above low speed, low load conditions and the amount of fuel injected by said first fuel injector per cycle is decreased at the time when said second fuel injector begins injecting fuel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A fuel injection system for a crankcase compression internal combustion engine having a combustion chamber, an induction system including a crankcase chamber for delivering a charge to said combustion chamber, a first fuel injector for injecting fuel directly into said combustion chamber, a second fuel injector for injecting fuel into said induction system, and control means for controlling the amount of fuel injected by each of said fuel injectors so that said second fuel injector injects fuel only when the engine speed and load are above low speed, low load conditions and the amount of fuel injected by said first fuel injector per cycle is decreased at the time when said second fuel injector begins injecting fuel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
A fuel injection system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the amount of fuel injected by the first fuel injector per cycle is further decreased as the load or speed increase after the second fuel injector begins injecting fuel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A fuel injection system as set forth in claim 2 wherein the ratio of fuel supplied by the second fuel injector to the first fuel injector increases as the engine speed and load increase.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A fuel injection system as set forth in claim 2 wherein the ratio of fuel supplied by the second fuel injector to the first fuel injector is maintained constant as the engine speed and load increases.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A fuel injection system as set forth in claim 1 wherein in at least one of the fuel injectors comprises a fuel/air injector.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim

Claim 11
Dependent Claim
39 words
A fuel injection system as set forth in claim 7 wherein the amount of fuel injected by the first fuel injector per cycle is increased as the load or speed increase after the second fuel injector begins injecting fuel.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
34 words
A fuel injection system as set forth in claim 7 wherein the ratio of fuel supplied by the second fuel injector to the first fuel injector increases as the engine speed and load increase.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
36 words
A fuel injection system as set forth in claim 7 wherein the ratio of fuel supplied by the second fuel injector to the first fuel injector is maintained constant as the engine speed and load increases.
