  • Publication number: 20020148436
    Abstract: When an engine rotates at a at a low speed, an injection of fuel is started immediately after a scavenging port of the engine has been closed, and all fuel is injected during the time when an exhaust port is opened, by which an idling operation of the engine is performed steadily. When the engine rotates at a middle speed, fuel is injected from an injector even for a period of time deviated from the period between a timing of closure of the scavenging port and the timing of closure of the exhaust port, by which the quantity of fuel required by the engine is injected. When the engine rotates at a high speed, the timing of start of the fuel injection is advanced as the rotational speed increases, and finally, the timing of start of the fuel injection is advanced to the timing of opening of the scavenging port or the timing immediately after opening of the scavenging port thereby to secure the required quantity of the fuel.
