The GY6 single is forced-air-cooled, with a chain-driven overhead camshaft and a crossflow hemi cylinder head. Fuel metering is by a single constant-velocity style sidedraft carburetor, [2] typically a Keihin CVK clone or similar. Ignition is by capacitor discharge ignition (CDI), with a magnetic trigger on the flywheel.
The de Havilland Gipsy Six is a British six-cylinder, air-cooled, inverted inline piston engine developed by the de Havilland Engine Company for aircraft use in the 1930s. It was based on the cylinders of the four-cylinder Gipsy Major and was developed into a series of similar aero engines which were still in common use until the 1980s.
The Rolls-Royce Merlin engine originally came with a direct carburettor, prone to cut-out due to fuel flooding in negative G. Beatrice Shilling Miss Shilling's orifice was a very simple technical device created to counter engine cut-outs experienced during negative G manoeuvres in early Spitfire and Hurricane fighter aeroplanes during the Battle of Britain.
The other is the specific "-3" engine made by BenNeng (code: BN), also referred to as a GY6-B engine. These engines have a taller head, unique crankshaft, and an extra long swingarm to accommodate a 16" rim. I have to agree that there is no known use of the GY6 engine in an actual Honda product.
Crankcase dilution occurs when the fuel oil from the engine gets into the lube oil of the engine. This can be caused by the walls being wetted due to the fuel condensing in the cylinder. If the engine is cold, or there is an excess amount of cooling around the cylinder, [ 1 ] the fuel oil will condense and have a higher chance to end up in the ...
A six-stroke engine is one of several alternative internal combustion engine designs that attempt to improve on traditional two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Claimed advantages may include increased fuel efficiency , reduced mechanical complexity, and/or reduced emissions .
LSPI events are random and infrequent, and their effects on impacted vehicles can include very high-pressure spikes, loud knocking noises and sometimes catastrophic engine damage. [4] It's commonly known as "Detonation or Knock". Engine management systems can overcome pre ignition by the means of a knock or detonation sensor.
This provided a simple, adequate solution to the dieseling problem. Dieseling (in the sense of engine run-on, and disregarding combustible gaseous mixtures via the air intake) can also occur in diesel engines, when the piston or seals fail due to overheating, admitting engine oil into the cylinder. A structurally failing diesel engine will ...
