Appl. No.:

10/708068

Inventors:

Scott A. Koerner - Kenosha WI, US
Mark J. Skrzypchak - Pleasant Prairie WI, US

Assignee:

BRP US Inc. - Sturtevant WI

International Classification:

B60C 23/00
G06F 19/00

US Classification:

340438, 701101

Abstract:

An outboard motor is presented that includes a control unit to control operation of an internal combustion engine and automated components of the motor. An array of indicators is associated with the control unit directly on an external or visible surface thereof or integrally formed therewith. The indicators may be independently activated to convey diagnostic information regarding engine operation. The control unit controls activation of the indicators in such a manner such that different diagnostic data is conveyed depending upon whether the engine is in an operating or starting mode.

Filed:

Feb 6, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/708089

Inventors:

Michael French - Pleasant Prairie WI, US
Mark Skrzypchak - Pleasant Prairie WI, US

International Classification:

B61J003/00

US Classification:

44008800L

Abstract:

An apparatus and method are presented to dynamically control operation of an engine component, e.g. fuel pump assembly or oil pump assembly, so that the engine component is operable at voltages that exceeds its rated or maximum operational voltage. An engine control monitors the rail voltage provided by an engine's energy source and provides a dynamic control of the engine component to be operable at that rail voltage. In this regard, the engine component is controlled to be operable at voltages exceeding its rated or maximum operational voltage, but is also controlled to be operable at varying voltages that are above its rated maximum.

Inventors:

Michael J. French - Pleasant Prairie WI
Mark Skrzypchak - Pleasant Prairie WI

Assignee:

Bombardier Motor Corporation of America - Grant FL

International Classification:

F02M 5100

US Classification:

123490

Abstract:

A start-assist circuit for increasing the fuel-injection voltage during the startup of an internal combustion engine having fuel injectors, a starter solenoid, and a battery is provided. The boost circuit receives the battery DC power and then boosts the battery voltage to provide an output having a level sufficient for a fuel injection solenoid during the start process.
