What is the the Lectron® Fuel Management System?
Total air flow through an engine determines it’s maximum BHP. So to increase engine output, either the airflow capacity must be increased or the fuel/air charge burned more effectively.
The primary obstacles to getting maximum airflow into an engine are the carburetor, intake manifold and port. We will deal here with the air/fuel charge and how the Lectron Carburetor can enhance this.
In an engine a rapid repeating sequence of controlled explosions in the combustion chamber creates the power. The carburetor must mix the air and fuel in the correct proportions to obtain an optimum air to fuel ratio. The carburetor creates this air/fuel ration by responding to the vacuum created inside the manifold of the engine.
The design of the Lectron® is focused on two primary principles:
- “AMPLIFY” the fuel pick up signal.
- “UTILIZE” the amplified fuel pick-up signal to create a more efficient burnable mixture.
The bore of the Lectron® carb is not straight, but incorporates a taper to increase the air velocity. Maximum air velocity is obtained at the point where the patented metering rod vaporizes the fuel with the passing air. The bore then increases to allow the vaporized air/fuel mixture to flow freely to the engine intake ports.
