Fuel injector operation
(1) Screw
(2) Rocker arm
(3) Clamp
(4) Control rod
(5) Rack
(6) Plunger
(7) Lifter assembly
(8) Camshaft
The fuel injector is held in position by clamp (3). Fuel is injected when rocker arm (2) pushes
the top of the fuel injector downward. The movement of the rocker arm is controlled by
camshaft (8) through lifter assembly (7) and control rod (4). The amount of fuel that is injected
is controlled by rack (5). Movement of the rack causes the rotation of a gear that is fastened to
plunger (6). Rotation of the plunger changes the effective stroke of the plunger.

Injection timing is a product of two factors. The two factors include the angular location of the
camshaft and the location of the plunger. The angular location of the camshaft is controlled by
the camshaft drive gears at the rear of the engine. The location of the plunger can be adjusted
with screw (1).
