I've never worked with injectors so I just want to check the basics so I can follow this cool thread better.
The basics... at least as I know them:
1) 0° = Detonation Point.
2) 0° to 180° = Power Stroke (Cycle 1).
3) 180° to 360° = Exhaust Stroke (Cycle 2).
4) 360° = Wasted Spark
5) 360° to 540° = Fuel Intake Stroke (Cycle 3).
6) 540° to 720° = Compression Stoke (Cycle 4).
7) 720°= Detonation
OK, all the above manually/fixed advanced a few degrees early for performance and automatically/proportionally advanced a few more degrees as the RPM's increase (by the advancer for my vintage points ignition system, by the same advancer for newer Igniter systems and electronically for totally electronic systems).
If this still applies, I read that you want to start injecting fuel before 4) 360° = Wasted Spark... and therefore the need for four separate and independent ignition systems to accomplish this... right?
Thanks for everyone's patience... just trying to lean here.
Thinking out loud...
I guess you could treat each pair (1-3, 2-4) as separate circuits. The points, in my case, would fire the #1, a controller/Igniter would pass this on to #1 and not to #3, would start a timer until the #1 points signal again, this vale would be used to offset the #3 firing and multiplied by 2 to suppress the #1 waste as well as to single #1 and suppress the #1 Waste Spark. Of course, none of this will work unless you identify that #1 or #3 is at TDC on the first points closing... which you can’t do with only one set of points signalling #1 & #3. Unless... you had a manual button on your controller which said "Switch Cylinders". Your bike would fire correctly 50% of the time and you would have to push the Switch Cylinders or 180° button the other 50% of the time to get it started... hooked up to the Start button it could switch every time to tried to start again.
Repeat for 2-4.
Do-able... but you would not want all this complication and uncertainty. I guess that's where your cam position sensor would come in to solve this dilemma.
Please,don't quizz me on this... I would need to do a time/state diagram first to see if it even makes any sense.
This has been a good wake-up brain teaser.. almost as good as Sunday morning coffee... almost. Thanks.
Best of success!
