the engine compartment through two vents in the aft portion of the
cowling. No movable cowl flaps are used.
Engine Fuel Injection
The multi-nozzle, continuous-flow fuel injection system supplies fuel
for engine operation. An engine driven fuel pump draws fuel from the
selected wing tank and passes it to the mixture control valve integral to
the pump. The mixture control valve proportions fuel in response to
the pilot operated mixture control lever position and automatically
provides altitude compensation to supply the proper full rich mixture at
any altitude. From the mixture control, fuel is routed to the fuel-
metering valve on the air-induction system throttle body. The fuel-
metering valve adjusts fuel flow in response to the pilot controlled
Power Lever position. From the metering valve, fuel is directed to the
fuel manifold valve (spider) and then to the individual injector nozzles.
The system meters fuel flow in proportion to engine RPM, throttle
angle, and ambient altitude pressure. Manual mixture control and idle
cut-off are provided. An electric fuel pump provides fuel boost for
vapor suppression and for priming.
Engine Air Induction System
Induction air enters the engine compartment through the two inlets in
the forward cowling. The air passes through a dry-foam induction filter,
through the throttle butterfly, into the six-tube engine manifold, and
finally through the cylinder intake ports into the combustion chambers.
Should the dry induction filter become clogged, a pilot controlled
alternate induction air door can be opened, allowing engine operation
to continue.

Engine Fuel Ignition
Two engine-driven magnetos and two spark plugs in each cylinder
provide fuel ignition. The right magneto fires the lower right and upper
left spark plugs, and the left magneto fires the lower left and upper
right spark plugs. Normal operation is conducted with both magnetos,
as more complete burning of the fuel-air mixture occurs with dual
ignition.
