    TECH Technical features and description Electronic control system CDI unit with microcomputer The ignition system consists of a flywheel magnet, stator assembly, pulser coil, thermoswitch, oil pressure switch, CDI unit, and ignition coil. The CDI unit contains a built-in microcomputer that determines the ignition timing separately for acceleration and for normal operation, based on sig- nals received from the pulser coil, thermoswitch, and oil pressure switch.
  • Page 41: Ignition System

    Electronic control system Ignition system In order to determine the optimal ignition timing that is necessary for the proper operation of the engine, the built-in microcomputer in the CDI unit detects the signals from various types of sensors and controls the ignition timing in accordance with a control map that is based on those signals. The microcomputer also effects controls to protect the engine against overheating, over revolution, and oil pressure drops, as well as to control alert devices.
  • Page 42 TECH Technical features and description Pulser coil The pulser coil transmits the pulser signals, which are generated in the pulser coil in accordance with the rotation of the flywheel magnet, to the CDI unit. Among the two protrusions that are pro- vided for generating signals, one is used for cylinders #1 and #4, and the other for cylinders #2 and #3, thus enabling the pulser coil to simultaneously ignite two cylinders.

  • Page 45 Electronic control system Acceleration control This control is activated when the throttle valve is opened suddenly. If the engine speed increases more than the specified figures, the control of the ignition timing transfers to the acceleration map. Thereafter, the control of the ignition timing transfers gradually to the control map before accelera- tion.
  • Page 46: Fuel System

    TECH Technical features and description Fuel system Four carburetors Prime Start has been adopted for the starting system to further increase starting performance and serviceability. Furthermore, the acceleration pump and the dashpot have been integrated to simplify construction and to ease serviceability. The four carburetors can be accurately and easily adjusted due to the simple construction of the links.
  • Page 47: Starting System (Prime Start)

    To facilitate the starting of a cold engine, a richer air-fuel mixture than normal is required. For this reason, the Prime Start system has been used in the F50D and FT50C. When the engine is cold, the fuel is delivered from the fully opened fuel enrichment valve. As a result, starting of a cold engine is facilitated.

  • Page 49: Acceleration Pump

    Fuel system Acceleration pump The function of the acceleration pump is to ensure a smooth acceleration by preventing the air-fuel mixture from becoming temporarily lean in case the throttle valve is opened suddenly. When the throttle is opened suddenly, diaphragm 1 (via the link that is connected to the throttle lever) operates to pressurize the air in the pump chamber.

  • Page 51: Ptt Unit

    Lubrication system / PTT unit PTT unit PTT unit consists of an up-main valve, a down-main valve, an up-relief valve, a single cylinder, and a single ram, which control both trim and tilt functions. PTT cylinder has been integrated with the gear pump housing, the reservoir tank, and the PTT motor in order to achieve a smaller and more compact unit.
  • Page 52 TECH Technical features and description Trim-up function The gear pump 6 pumps PTT fluid to the up-main valve 7. As a result, the fluid pressure opens the up-shuttle piston 9 causing the fluid to flow into the lower part of the PTT cylinder 1. At the same time, vacuum from the gear pump 6 opens the down-main valve 4 and down-shuttle piston 0, which causes fluid from the upper part of the PTT cylinder 1 to return to the gear pump 6, and also sucks fluid in through the reservoir 8.
  • Page 53 PTT unit Tilt-up function When the trim cylinder 5 tops out, the check valve 4 is pushed down by the end screw wall 3. This causes allowing the PTT fluid to flow from the upper part of the trim cylinder 5, through the down-shuttle piston q and the down-main valve 7, and back to the gear pump 8.
  • Page 54 TECH Technical features and description Tilt-down function The gear pump 6 pumps the PTT fluid to the down-main valve 5. As a result, fluid pressure opens the down-main valve 5 and the down-shuttle piston q, which causes fluid to flow into the upper part of the trim cylinder 3 and forces the tilt piston t down.
  • Page 55 PTT unit Stopping condition When the PTT switch is not pushed (released), the gear pump does not pump the fluid, the up-main valve and the down-main valve are closed, and the PTT fluid pressure in the system remains con- stant. This allows the ram to maintain its position until the PTT fluid flows through the system again. When the outboard motor hits something in the water The check valve of the trim cylinder 2 and the tilt piston absorber 4 of the tilt piston 5 help to pre- vent internal damage to the PTT unit and help to protect the bracket and lower unit from damage in...
