Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle for use with a fuel injection pump comprises a tubular body and a valve needle slidably arranged within the body. First and second nozzle springs are arranged respectively within first and second spring chambers formed in the body. The first nozzle spring is interposed between a first stationary spring seat and a first movable spring seat for biasing the valve needle toward its closed position. The second nozzle spring is interposed between a second stationary spring seat and a second movable spring seat for biasing a push rod toward the valve needle. The push rod has a front end face spaced from a rear end face of the valve needle by an initial injection valve opening lifting gap. A main injection lift amount adjusting member has a front end face spaced from a rear end face of the push rod by a main injection valve opening lifting gap.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump has a control sleeve slidably fitted over a plunger. The plunger is provided with two lateral holes and an inclined groove open to and extending between respective ends of said lateral holes. The end of injection occurs when the inclined groove communicates with a cut-off port formed in the control sleeve, and the timing of injection is adjustable by the rotation of the plunger. To keep fuel noninjected, the plunger is rotated to a position at which the second lateral hole is brought into communication with the cut-off port.
