DESCRIPTION

The
Air

Injection
System
A
I
S

is

adopted
on
U
S
A

models

except
FU

models

and

injects
compressed
air

secondary
air

coming
from
the
air

pump
into

the
exhaust

port
of
the

cylinder
head
to
reduce

hydrocarbons

He
and

carbon

monoxide
CO
in

exhaust

gas
through
recombustion

There

are
two

types
of
Air

Injection

System

Fresh
outside
air
is
drawn

by
the
air

pump
through
the

air

pump
air

Compressed
air
is

injected
into

the

exhaust

manifold

through
the

check
valve

The
A
B

valve

supplies
air
from
the

carburetor
air
cleaner
to
the

intake

manifold

so
as

to

prevent
