1 Introduction
• Air/Fuel Control - The air/fuel control portion of EICS is exercised through a Direct-acting
Electronic Pressure Regulator (D-EPR) mated to a ruggedized mechanical mixer. The
pre-mapped engine with model-based control delivers accurate fuel quantity for easy
start, run, and transient performance throughout the engine’s operating range. Exhaust
gas feedback control is utilized for minor fuel delivery optimization using wideband
oxygen sensor technology. The addition to feed-forward control combined with the
superfast acting electronic pressure regulation ensures the system initiates adjustments
long before other systems that rely on oxygen sensor feedback alone. Since the system
was tuned in an engine test cell, variations in engine load, speed, and fuel quality have
been anticipated and pre tested.
Electronic Speed Governing - The EICS integrated approach provides accurate speed
governing and enables the throttle, fuel delivery, and ignition system to work in
conjunction rather than "fight" each other as is sometimes the case when these functions
are distributed among separate components. The EICS system also allows the user to
vary engine speed within a specified range to assist in maintaining a gas pressure
(suction or discharge). A Murphy 4-20mA pressure transducer can be supplied to
monitor well suction (or discharge) pressure. The mechanical governing system is no
longer required with EICS.
• Emissions Package - The emissions package is an option that can be added when
purchased or at a later date when the need arises. The package includes a catalyst,
sensors, and brackets. When the optional emissions package is detected, the ECM
responds with an alternate calibration to facilitate engine exhaust gas mixtures that are
optimum for the provided catalyst. Moreover, the ECM not only monitors the feedback
from the oxygen sensor mounted in the traditional location (between the engine and the
catalyst) but also makes use of an additional oxygen sensor located post-catalyst
because, what is exiting the catalyst is the ultimate concern. Catalyst protection and
additional diagnostics are provided utilizing pre- and post-catalyst temperature
monitoring using RTDs provided in the emissions package.
♦ The positive lead must have a 30 amp fuse installed at the battery
connection.
♦ When using rigid conduit, ensure that conduit has been de-burred prior to
pulling any wires.
♦ Fuel gas should be free of all liquids and solids prior to entering the
engine.
Six (6) blade type fuses are embedded on the printed circuit board
and accessible through a removable cover for protection of the
system.
Illustration 3.1
Illustration 3.2
Installation hardware is included in the kit to properly attach the wiring harness to the engine.
The harness can be placed in conduit if required. The connection to the ECM allows for the use of a 1”
flexible conduit connection by using the included conduit nut and conduit ferrule.
Illustration 3.5
The identical sensor is used to measure throttle inlet pressure (turbocharged engines only) and intake
manifold pressure/temperature. The temperature portion of the sensor is not utilized for TIP
measurement, thus the harness has only three wires going to the connector for the TIP sensor.
The ECM utilizes intake manifold pressure and temperature measurements from the TMAP sensor. The
harness connector for the TMAP sensor has 4 wires. Pressure is reported as absolute pressure, so all
values are positive numbers. The information is used for airflow models, load estimates, engine
protection, and diagnostics. User configurable shutdowns exist for high manifold temperature and
pressure.
The TIP and TMAP sensors are installed using the supplied hardware kit.
Refer to the “Engine Specific” sections of this manual for the proper installation of these sensors.
Supplied with the kit is a gasket to seal the throttle to the manifold
adapter.
Refer to the “Engine Specific” sections of this manual for the proper
installation. Illustration 3.14

3.13 Mixer (carburetor)
The mixer is an air valve design to draw fuel into the mixer from
cranking, to full load. The mixer is mounted in the air stream, ahead of
the throttle assembly.
Illustration 3.16
Illustration 3.19
3.17 IT-230 Ignition Coil
The EICS system uses the Murphy IT-230 smart coil. This system
also allows for output voltage reporting for diagnostics of entire
ignition system including the detection of open primary and
secondary wiring, weak combustion and misfire detection. The
number of ignition coils provided is application specific.

It is important that the engine and all of its components are in good working order prior to the
installation of this system.
.
3. Spark plugs are gapped prior to installation per the engine manufacturer’s specification.
5. There are no exhaust leaks. (These will cause false readings on oxygen sensors and inhibit
proper catalyst performance)
6. Engine fuel delivery system (final cut regulator, high pressure regulator and filtration system)
should be in good working order. Check that regulator’s diaphragm is in good shape and has
little or no stretching present.
7. High sulfur content in the fuel can adversely affect the operation and life of the system. The use
of EICS is not recommended with fuels that have sulfur levels above 55 ppm, and chlorinated
compounds above 12 ppm. Component life and operation of EICS can be adversely affected
by the use of biogas, digester gas, and sewage gas.

To install the nut, locate a suitable location in the exhaust and cut a 7/8” port
in the pipe. Center the nut over the opening and seal weld the nut to the pipe.
It is important that the weld is complete and there are no open gaps to ensure
the proper measure of the exhaust gas.

It is important that the ignition mounting rail be clean of any debris and paint prior to the installation of
the new coils. This step is necessary to ensure a good ground path between the ignition coil and the
engine block. Failure to clean this surface can cause an erratic firing in the combustion chamber.
When installing the ignition coil wires (plug wires), apply a small amount of dielectric grease in the plug
tower of the coil. In addition to reducing corrosion, the dielectric grease will allow the wire connector to
slide into the tower more easily and will also help seal the tower.

♦ All electrical connections should be performed by qualified personnel and should meet all
Federal, State, Local and End User electrical codes.
♦ When using rigid conduit, ensure that conduit has been de-burred prior to pulling any wires.
♦ Pull all wires and connect the harnesses to the end devices prior to terminating the connectors
on the ECM.
♦ Do not connect or disconnect end devices or make wiring changes while power is supplied to
the product. Electrical sparks may occur.
♦ All positive and negative power connections MUST be connected directly to the battery. Power
connections should never be made at the starter or alternator.
♦ The negative side of the battery MUST be connected to a common ground on the engine block.
Paint and debris should be removed from the connection point on the block to ensure a good
connection. The connection MUST always be made directly to the block not through a bracket
or bolted joint
♦ The positive lead must have a 30 amp fuse installed at the battery connection. Ensure the fuse
wiring is rated for 30 amps or more. 10 AWG wire is recommended.
♦ The four positive battery wires (terminals 9, 10, 19 & 20) and the three negative wires (terminals
2, 11 & 12) must be connected to a 10 AWG wire from the battery or should be run individually
to the battery terminal post.
♦ If all wires on the PIC (Panel Interface Connection) harness are not connected to a terminal they
must be taped off individually and secured to prevent contact between each other or ground.
♦ Connection to battery positive should be the last connection made to the system.
♦ When welding on the skid, disconnect all harnesses from ECM, D-EPR, Throttle, Oxygen
Sensors, Thermocouple (RTD) and EICS Display.
If choosing conduit, the connection to the ECM allows for the use of a 1” flexible conduit connection by
using the supplied conduit nut and 1” conduit ferrule. In most cases, the use of 1 ¼” conduit eases the
pulling of the harness. Conduit 1” in diameter can be used but the use of 90° elbow connectors
increases the tension needed to pull the harness through these connectors. The braided cover should
always be left on the harness, even when used with donduit, as it will help protect the harness from
scuffing and chaffing during the pulling process.
Diagram 4.1
Installation of the “EICS Emissions Key” enables the operation of the emissions control feature of the
EICS system. After the installation of this key, the post catalyst UEGO wide band oxygen sensor and
the catalyst temperature monitoring is enabled. The controller moves from a performance operation to
an emissions control system. This key is required when the catalyst is installed.
Installation of the “EICS Suction Control Key” allows for automatic speed control of the engine based on
changes in suction pressure. A Murphy PXT pressure transducer is also required for the operation of
this feature. Check with your local Murphy distributor for the correct PXT pressure transducer for your
operation.
Illustration 4.6
Illustration 4.5
Table 4.1
Illustration 4.7 When installing the catalyst, there are a few rules that MUST be
followed:
1) The catalyst revision “A” MUST be mounted horizontally. Revision “B” or later catalysts can be
mounted vertically. Identification of the catalyst revision can be made by locating the part
number stamped in the center section of the catalyst shell and will begin with the letter “E”. The
number below the part number is the catalyst serial number.
a. Revision “A” part number is E2379011
b. Revision “B” part number is E2379011B
2) The sensor connections in catalyst necks MUST be installed as close as possible to the 12:00
position.
3) The catalyst harness support brackets MUST be installed as close as possible to the 11:00
position.
4) Install the catalyst as close as practical to the engine. This will ensure the catalyst operates at
the proper temperature.
5) When installing the catalyst after an elbow, allow at least 8” between the elbow and the catalyst
inlet flange. Optimum emissions are only achieved if the catalyst inlet exhaust temperature is
above 750 F.
6) The catalyst is not a support member. The Catalyst and exhaust piping MUST be supported
separately. Failure to properly support the catalyst will result in a premature failure of the
catalyst housing.
7) Ensure that there are no exhaust leaks in the system. Exhaust leaks will result in the system
reporting false exhaust oxygen concentration, thus causing an incorrect air-fuel ratio.

1) Install the supplied gasket (p/n 48500025) around the back outside edge of the display.
2) Place the back side of the display through the opening in the panel.
3) Install the screw O-rings (p/n 0000650) on the supplied mounting screws.
4) Use the 4 screws to line up the unit with the drilled holes.
5) Push the unit through the opening and screws through the drilled holes until the back of the
case is flush.
6) Use the Nylock nuts provided to tighten unit to the panel. Use the appropriate wrench or socket
to tighten. Torque lock nuts to 8-10 inch pounds.
Illustration 4.12
The general guideline for the installation of the ECM and ECM bracket is for the ECM bracket to be
mounted on the right side of the engine, next to the magneto drive assembly (illustration 4.15). The
ECM bracket upper support is mounted under the #1 cylinder ignition coil and is also supported by the
bolts through the front cover (illustration 4.14).
It is important that all of the mounting points between the ECM bracket and the engine be clean of all
debris (oil, dirt, grease, rust, etc.) to ensure a secure fit to the block. Also remove the bracket coating
under coil 1 (both sides) to ensure a good metal-to-metal contact for the ground.
Mount the bracket to the engine block using the supplied hardware. Refer to items in the parts list for
your particular engine.
The ECM must be mounted on the ECM bracket with the connectors on the left side and the LED
indicator panel on the top right corner. Eight (8) 1/4”-20 x 1 ¼” bolts with flat washers are provided to
mount the ECM to the bracket. All of the bolts are to be used and should be installed through the rubber
vibration isolators and tightened to the recommended torque value of 10 ft-lbs.
Important Notice
Prior to the installation of the speed pickup assembly, check the drive ratio of the
magneto drive. Some of the older engines have a 1:1 ratio drive. This can be
identified by looking at the identification tag of the magneto. Altronic V = 4A24A;
Altronic III = 4A29A are both 1:1 ratio drive magneto. The drive ratio for the EICS
speed pickup is 1.5:1. Check with your Caterpillar parts supplier to obtain the parts
necessary to change to the proper drive ratio.
Prior to removing of the existing magneto, roll the engine over to top dead center (TDC) on cylinder #1,
compression stroke.
Remove the magneto and clean the gasket material from the magneto drive flange. Ensure that the
magneto drive coupling is set as horizontal as possible. Repositioning of the drive gear may be
necessary to achieve this alignment (Illustration 4.16).
Remove the alignment window plug from the back of the speed pickup assembly (Illustration 4.17) and
rotate the coupling until the 5/64” hole in the gear aligns in the center of the alignment hole (Illustration
3). Be aware that there are also two 3/8” holes in the gear that are used for balancing. DO NOT use
these for alignment purposes.
Once aligned, apply a thin coating of oil to the O-ring located on the speed pickup’s flange face and
connect the speed pickup to the magneto drive flange. Center the two flanges and fasten the speed
pickup assembly using the hardware provided with the kit.

Important Note: The vent plug MUST remain installed on the bottom of the speed pickup. It is
important that the plug remain unobstructed, therefore the vent should be masked prior to
painting.
Prior to the installation of the EICS fuel system, the existing fuel system must be removed. The parts to
be removed from the existing system will include the carburetor/mixer, throttle body, throttle to intake
manifold adapter if equipped, fuel line between carburetor/mixer, the engine’s existing governor rod, the
engine’s final cut fuel pressure regulator (ounce regulator) and the regulator’s adjustment spring.
It cannot be stressed enough that the engine’s final cut regulator be in good working order. All of the
internal parts should be clean and move freely. The regulator’s diaphragm should be in good shape and
have little or no stretching present.
The assembly of the mixer, throttle and D-EPR assembly must be done in a specific sequence in order
to properly tighten all components. While performing the steps in this section please refer to Diagram
A2.3 in Appendix A.
1) The intake manifold adapter should be installed on the engine in place of the OEM
carburetor/mixer bracket. A new intake manifold gasket (not supplied) Caterpillar part number
5S-6735, is required.
2) The mixer should be flipped over where the throttle flange is on top and the diaphragm
assembly on the bottom.
3) A light coating of silicone paste should be applied to the installed O-ring gaskets to ensure a
good seal.
4) The throttle adapter is then installed using the provided M6-1.0 x 16mm bolts (Illustration 4.21).
5) Tighten all bolts in a cross pattern using a 5mm head Allen wrench.
6) The throttle spacer ring is then inserted over the neck of the throttle. The throttle neck O-ring is
then lubricated with a thin coating of silicone paste and slipped over the throttle neck.
7) Rotate the mixer/throttle adapter over with the diaphragm on top.
8) Install the two provided 1/8” NPT pipe plugs in the open ports on the mixer’s air inlet flange.
9) The provided M6-1.0 x 55mm bolts are then inserted into the slots on the throttle mating flange
bolt holes.
10) Looking at the 3” air inlet opening, insert the throttle assembly with the actuator motor on the left
hand side.
11) Install the provided intake manifold to adapter gasket on the manifold adapter. (Illustration 4.22).
12) Mount the mixer/throttle assembly to the manifold adapter with the 3” air inlet to the flywheel
side of the engine and the actuator motor to the outside of the engine (Illustration 4.23).
13) Tighten all bolts in a cross pattern using a 5mm ball head Allen wrench.
14) Install the provided air cleaner bracket to the back side of the adapter using the provided
hardware kit (Illustration 4.24).
15) Install the air cleaner. Replace the air cleaner hose if needed. A new air cleaner element should
be installed at this point.
16) Install the D-EPR valve, D-EPR inlet fuel inlet fitting and D-EPR support bracket as shown in
(Illustration 4.24) using the provided hardware kits. The D-EPR MUST be mounted in the
horizontal position with the harness plug on top.
After the installation of the mixer/throttle/D-EPR assembly is complete, a fuel line must be
manufactured to fit between the final cut regulator and the D-EPR inlet fitting. A port is needed between
the regulator outlet and the D-EPR inlet for measuring the D-EPR fuel inlet pressure.
Installation of the D-EPR can be performed at the time that the mixer and throttle are assembled. The
D-EPR comes with the O-ring gaskets installed. Check to ensure that the gaskets are still intact before
mounting onto the mixer or installing the D-EPR inlet fitting. Apply a light coating of silicone paste to the
face of the O-rings prior to installing to the mixer or fitting.

Start by installing the ECM connectors into the appropriate socket on the ECM. The engine harness will
connect to the double connector cover. Remove the double connector cover using a 4mm Allen
wrench. Each ECM connector is keyed differently to prevent the installation into the incorrect socket.
Illustration 4.29
Illustration 4.30
Illustration 4.31
The exhaust sensor branch can be routed from any point on the right side of the engine. Support the
harness between the engine and the catalyst by strapping to any support available. Ensure that wiring
does not come in contact with any component that has a temperature greater than 150°F.
If the system is installed as a non-emissions system, the catalyst branch should be coiled and
suspended above the starter. Ensure that the harness cannot be stepped on. Only the pre-catalyst plug
will be used for a non-emissions application. All other harness plugs should be capped/protected from
the elements.
The general guideline for the installation of the ECM and ECM bracket is for the ECM bracket to be
mounted on the right side of the engine, below the magneto drive assembly and to the front of the
starter (see Illustration 4.34).
Illustration 4.34
It is important that all of the mounting points between the ECM bracket and the engine be clean of all
debris (oil, dirt, grease, rust, etc.) to ensure a secure fit to the block.
Mount the bracket to the engine block using the supplied hardware. Refer to the items in the parts list
for each particular engine model.
The ECM must be mounted on the ECM bracket with the connectors on the left side and the LED
indicator panel on the top right corner as shown in Illustration 4.34 Eight (8) 1/4”-20 x 1 ¼” bolts with flat
washers are provided to mount the ECM to the bracket. All of the bolts are to be used and will be
installed through the rubber vibration isolators and tighten to the recommended torque of 10 ft-lbs.
Remove the alignment window plug from the back of the speed pickup assembly (Illustration 4.36) and
rotate the coupling until the 5/64” hole in the gear aligns in the center of the alignment hole (Illustration

Important Note: The vent plug MUST remain installed on the bottom of the speed pickup. It is
important that the plug remain unobstructed, therefore the vent should be masked prior to
painting.
Prior to the installation of the EICS fuel system, the existing fuel system must be removed. The parts to
be removed from the existing system will include the carburetor/mixer, throttle body, throttle to intake
manifold adapter if equipped, fuel line between carburetor/mixer, the engine’s existing governor rod, the
engine’s final cut fuel pressure regulator (ounce regulator) and the regulator’s adjustment spring.
NOTE: It cannot be stressed enough that the engine’s final cut regulator be in good
working order. All of the internal parts should be clean and move freely. The regulator’s
diaphragm should be in good shape and have little or no stretching present.
The assembly of the mixer, throttle and D-EPR must be done in a specific sequence in order to properly
tighten all components. While performing the steps in this section please refer to Diagram A2.2 in
Appendix A.
The inlet fuel pressure to the D-EPR should be adjusted to 16.5” WC differential (fuel/air) +0 / -0.5” WC
at idle. Typically, the Fisher 100 and 600 series regulators used have a large droop between no load
and full load. The pressure at full load should not droop below 12” of WC if the regulator is in proper
operating condition.
Installation of the D-EPR can be performed at the time that the mixer and throttle are assembled. The
D-EPR comes with the O-ring gaskets installed. Check to ensure that the gaskets are still intact before
mounting onto the mixer or installing the D-EPR inlet fitting. Apply a light coating of silicone paste to the
face of the O-rings prior to installing to the mixer or fitting.

All of the “User Defined” setup is performed through the EICS Display furnished with the system.
The EICS Display is equipped with eight buttons; four on each side of the display screen which are
used to navigate between screens and make selections. To the right and /or left sides of the display
screen there are selection categories as shown in Illustration 5.1. Each category corresponds to the
physical rubber button next to it. For example pressing the upper left button would select Operating
Data.
Illustration 5.1
The Home Screen for the interface is displayed below in Illustration 5.3. There are eight general
categories that can be selected using the button keys located on either side of the display.
Although most any screen can be viewed by an end user, many of the screens require a password.
The information that should be reviewed before starting a unit is contained in the “Base Set-up” and
“Operating Setting” screens.
Illustration 5.3
Below is a description of each of the Home Screen categories looking at these areas from left to right,
top to bottom:
Operating Data – This category contains several additional gauge screens which are used to display
the current operating information of the system.
Target Speed – This area allows adjustment of engine speed while in manual speed control mode.
Engine Diagnostics – This category provides diagnostic information including currently active as well
as historic faults.
Base Set-up – This area allows the user to adjust certain operating parameters such as Desired Spark
Timing, Timing Wheel Offset, Fuel Specific Gravity, etc.
Historic Data/Reporting – This area allows the user to monitor the data storage of the onboard
memory.
Operating Settings – This area allows the user to set parameters associated with engine speed
governing, passwords, date & time, shutdown set points, as well as other parameters.
Display Settings – This area allows for the adjustment of the display such as ambient light, brightness,
etc.
Also contained on the Home Screen as well as many other screens is a colored circle at the bottom
center of the screen called the “Alarm Lamp”. This lamp provides the current status of the system.
1) System OK – Green Light - - Indicates that the system is in good working order and there
are no existing fault conditions and all previous faults have been acknowledged.
2) System Warning – Amber Light - - Indicates that there is either an active fault, or there was
an active fault that has not been recognized by the user on the engine diagnostics page.
3) System Alarm – Red Light - - Indicates a fault that has caused a shutdown.
Further descriptions of the Warnings and Alarms can be found in the “Troubleshooting” section of this
manual.
This section is meant to cover all the necessary setup steps that should be taken prior to starting the
engine. It will cover Operating Settings, Base Set-up and Display Settings.

Illustration 5.20
The Base Engine Setup pages contain ten (10) adjustable parameters based on the operational needs
of the engine and the user. All of these parameters are password protected.
The user will be prompted to enter a High Level or Sub Level password before proceeding. The
parameters in this section are as follows:
1 – Desired Spark Timing at Rated Power – The user should enter the desired spark timing for the
engine at 1800 rpm and full load. This timing is supplied by the engine manufacturer based on fuel gas
composition.
2 – Select Fixed/Variable Spark Timing – This field has two possible choices:
1) Auto – This is the recommend setting and allows the controller to determine the best spark
timing based on the desired spark timing at rated power. Timing will auto adjusted based on
load and speed.
2) Calibrate – This is a temporary setting used to check that the speed-pickup is installed properly.
When selected, the ECM will hold ignition timing at the value in Field 4 “Fixed Spark Timing
Calibrate” while the user checks actual timing with a timing light. The user should check the
spark timing as compared to the value in field 4. If there is a mismatch, an off-set can be made
in field 3. This offset can be permanently stored, or the user can elect to make a physical
adjustment by rotating the speed pickup assembly. At end of this process, the timing reading
obtained using a timing light should match what the ECM is displaying. The user should then
select auto, and not allow the engine to continue to operate in calibrate mode.
4 – Fixed Spark Timing Calibrate – This field allows the end user to determine the desired point to
check the flywheel timing against the desired spark timing when the “Select Fixed/Variable Spark
Timing” is set to “Calibrate”. In calibrate mode, the spark timing will stay at the value entered in field 4
for all speeds and loads.
5 – Fuel Specific Gravity – This is the density of the fuel gas being used as compared to air. It is
supplied by the user and is often obtained from most fuel gas analysis reports. This step is
recommended for the best operation of the EICS system. If the gas analysis does not include a
calculated value for specific gravity, this value can be calculated by entering the fuel analysis data in
GERP - Gas Engine Rating Pro software available from Caterpillar.
6 – Stoichiometric Air-Fuel Ratio – This is the chemical balance of fuel and air to completely (ideally)
burn all of the fuel during the combustion process. This value is available on most fuel gas analysis and
is entered as (Mass /Mass). If the gas analysis does not include a calculated value for stoichiometric
air-fuel ratio, the value can be calculated by entering the fuel analysis data in GERP - Gas Engine
Rating Pro software available from Caterpillar.
7 – Misfire Detection – If this feature is enabled, the system will monitor the combustion of each
cylinder and will alert the end user if a persistent misfire is detected. If this feature is disabled, the
system will ignore any misfires. Note, even when enabled, this function is not active at all engine
speed and load conditions, so it is possible a misfire will not be detected.
8 – Exh Temp w/no emissions – Enabling this function allows the use of a pre-catalyst RTD
temperature probe on the “Performance” systems (Systems that do not have the optional emissions
package installed). This function is disabled when the “Emissions Key” is installed since pre-catalyst
temperatures are always monitored with emissions package present.
9 – Data Logger – When enabled, this feature allows for the logging of 30 pre-set parameters. These
parameters are logged into the memory of the ECM every 15 seconds. This feature allows for
approximately 90+ days of data to be saved. See the Data Logger section ([Link]) for more details.
10 – Reset Data Logger – This feature allows the user to erase the saved data logs and restart the
data logging process.
When exiting this area, the user will be prompted to save or discard any changes.
If changes are not saved, they will be reverted back to their last saved point. It is important to save
changes each time you are prompted.
Press the “Save Changes” button to write the parameters to the ECM’s memory.
Press the “Don’t Save” button to erase all of the changes from the system and revert to the last saved
changes.

related tests using the EICS display.
Illustration 5.30
The Diagnostics and Active Faults screen consists of several parts as shown in Illustration 5.32.
Below is a description of each part.
• Current Fault Number and Total Fault Number – Tells the user what number the current fault
displayed is and the total number of faults present.
• SPN– SPN stands for Suspect Parameter Number. This number identifies the item for which the
diagnostics are being reported.
• FMI – FMI stands for Failure Mode Indicator. This number represents the type of failure detected.
• OC- OC stands for Occurrence Count. This number represents the number of times the fault has
gone from previously active to active.
• Diagnostic Message- Is a readable format of the SPN and FMI numbers telling the user what fault
is present. A description of the fault, system action taken as a result of the fault been present,
trigger conditions that caused the fault, and troubleshooting information to aid with repair can be
found in Troubleshooting (Section 6) of this manual.
• ACK button- Stands for acknowledge. All faults will stay on the active screen until they are
acknowledged (by pressing the ACK button). Those faults on the active screen with a green
border indicate the fault was active previously, but is not active presently. If the border is yellow,
the fault is presently active. When the indicator lamp on the display is yellow there is either an
active fault condition, or a fault on the active page that has not been acknowledged. The yellow
indicator means the user should check the diagnostics page.
• Active Prev and Active Next buttons – These buttons allow the user to move to the next or
previous “Active” currently present fault.
• Stored button – This button allows the user to retrieve stored faults. These are faults that are no
longer active but remain in the ECM until permanently cleared.
• Current Fault Number and Total Fault Number – Tells the user what number the current fault
displayed is and the total number of faults present.
• SPN– SPN stands for Suspect Parameter Number. This number identifies the item for which the
diagnostics are being reported.
• FMI – FMI stands for Failure Mode Indicator. This number represents the type of failure detected.
• OC- OC stands for Occurrence Count. This number represents the number of times the fault has
gone from previously active to active.
• Diagnostic Message- Is a readable format of the SPN and FMI numbers telling the user what fault
displayed.
• Active button- This button will return back to the Diagnostics and Active Faults screen.
• Stored Prev and Stored Next buttons – These buttons allow the user to move to the next or
previous “Stored”, no longer present faults.

Roll the engine to top dead center (TDC) on cylinder #1, compression stroke, and remove the magneto, cleaning the gasket material from the magneto drive flange. Ensure the magneto drive coupling is horizontal. Align the 5/64” hole in the gear through the alignment window, not using the 3/8” holes meant for balancing, then apply oil to the O-ring of the speed pickup flange and center it to the magneto drive flange. Secure it using the provided hardware .
Harnesses should be routed to avoid any contact with components exceeding 150°F and must be supported between engine and catalyst with straps. Non-emission system catalyst branches should be coiled above the starter. Ensure harnesses cannot be stepped on and only the pre-catalyst plug used for non-emissions applications. Unused plugs should be capped and protected from elements .
The magneto drive coupling must be set as horizontal as possible for proper alignment of the speed pickup which helps in accurate timing. If needed, reposition the drive gear to achieve this alignment by rotating the coupling to place the 5/64” hole in the center of the alignment hole, avoiding the 3/8” balancing holes .
The throttle harness should be routed in the harness retaining clip provided on the throttle, ensuring it is fixed and not able to come into contact with hot surfaces, ensuring safe and efficient operation. This prevents potential damage or disconnection .
The key steps include ensuring all mounting points between the ECM bracket and the engine are clean of debris to secure a proper fit. The bracket is mounted on the right side, below the magneto drive assembly, and in front of the starter. Eight 1/4”-20 x 1 ¼” bolts with flat washers are used to mount the ECM to the bracket, and all must be installed through rubber vibration isolators and tightened to a torque of 10 ft-lbs. The ECM connectors should be on the left side with the LED indicator panel on the top right .
Ensuring ECM bracket mounting points are free of debris such as oil, dirt, grease, and rust is crucial for a secure fit to the engine block which prevents vibration, misalignment, or EMI issues that could lead to system failure or performance degradation .
If the voltage exceeds 4.7 VDC or drops below 0.3 VDC, check for open circuits between Pin A/B of the post-catalyst RTD harness connector and ECM connectors J2-23/24. Repair any found issues. If no faults are detected, replace the post-catalyst RTD sensor .
First, remove the carburetor/mixer, throttle body, throttle to intake manifold adapter, fuel line, existing governor rod, engine’s final cut fuel pressure regulator, and its adjustment spring. Ensure the final regulator is working well, and proceed with the assembly of the mixer, throttle, and D-EPR following specific sequences outlined in the instructions .
If the UEGO heater voltage is low or shorted to power, check for open circuits or shorts between UEGO sensor connector pins and ECM. Replace the FUSE1 if necessary, ensure battery voltage is present on Pin 4, and check for shorts on Pin 3. Replace the sensor if these steps do not resolve the issue .
Improper installation, such as failing to torque hold down bolts to 2 ft-lbs or not aligning the rubber grommet with the connector cover boss, could lead to moisture ingress, connector misalignment, or poor electrical connection, causing ECM failures or intermittent faults. Ensuring correct installation torque and alignment resolves these risks .
