2. FEATURES
EH72 FI has been developed as a high performance model equipped with the electronic fuel
injection system.
HIGHER POWER OUTPUT
has been achieved by increasing inlet air volume with larger venturi bore.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
By optimizing the fuel injection management, EH72 FI has achieved approx. 11% improvement
on the fuel efficiency, as well as drastic reduction on the exhaust emission.
Therefore, EH72 FI comply with CARB Tier 3 Emission Regulations in the USA.
COMPACT DESIGN
By adopting the Engine Control Unit (ECU) incorporated inside the throttle body of electronic fuel
injection system, EH72 FI has achieved very compact design, which is same envelope size as
carbureted engine, to keep superb mountability for machineries.
USER FRIENDLY
- Excellent startability
The newly developed electronic fuel injection system provides optimum fuel flow by sensing
ambient temperature.
It realizes easy and surefire start-up performance with no choke operation, even in the lowtemperature.
- Better response and acceleration
The electronic fuel injection system offers an excellent running performance which are less
subject to external circumstances, such as changes of ambient temperature and atmospheric
pressure. This means no need any manual adjustment at high altitude, such as changing main jet
of carburetor.

3. DESCRIPTION OF FUEL SYSTEM
This engine is equipped with Electronic Fuel
Injection system (FI system) integrated with
ECU (Engine Control Unit).
The FI system consists of throttle body
(2-barrel), ECU, MAP (Manifold Air Pressure)
sensor, injector, fuel pressure regulator,
temperature sensor, electric fuel pump, and
pulsation damper.

The fuel system is calibrated after careful testing for optimum all-round performance (including
starting, acceleration, fuel consumption, output power characteristics).
The throttle body monitors manifold air pressure and engine temperature at start up and performs
the choke function automatically.
While the engine is in operation, the throttle body monitors engine speed, manifold air pressure,
and engine temperature to ensure proper engine performance.
(For further information, refer to page 16, section “6 .THROTTLE BODY”.)

4. DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
4-1 PREPARATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
When disassembling the engine, memorize the locations of individual parts so that they can be
reassembled correctly. If you are uncertain of identifying some parts, it is suggested that tags be
attached to them.
Have boxes ready to keep disassembled parts by group.
To prevent losing and misplacing, temporarily assemble each group of disassembled parts.
Carefully handle disassembled parts, and clean them with washing oil if necessary.
Use the correct tools in the correct way.
When disconnecting electric wirings, be sure to hold and disconnect the connector housing.
4-2 SPECIAL TOOLS
No Special Tool is needed for disassembling and reassembling the engine.
For pulling off the flywheel, universal type puller being popular in the market place as shown in
the illustration is needed.
