Turn Key Start (TKS) System
x This system will be installed on all carbureted engines. Production start
will be during August through October of 2004.
x Basic Design:
- Additional fuel is required during engine starting and warm up.
- The new design began with the current casting and components similar
to carbureted outboard.
- The casting was modified adding an additional fuel flow path
for the TKS
module.
- The TKS flow path is normally open and closes using a heat expanding
device coupled to a needle/seat. This device closes the additional fuel
flow path after receiving 12 Vdc for 6-10 minutes.
- The engine will run at an elevated RPM (900 – 1,000) for the 6-10
minutes and then return to the normal idle speed.
Carburetor with TKS
x Operation:
- The new carburetor operates in a manner very similar to the previous
MerCarb units, but now has the added benefit of having an additional
amount of fuel automatically provided to the engine during cold starts.
Pumping the throttle twice before starting the engine is no longer
necessary. You just turn the key to start the engine.
