Q

The fuel injection pumps on a diesel engine are controlled by a linkage system attached to the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• diesel engine fuel control and how fuel quantity is adjusted to change engine speed • the function of a governor in a diesel engine • which rotating part(s) can change speed vs. which part directly senses and adjusts fuel rack position

💭 Think About

• Think about which component actually SENSES engine speed and then TRANSMITS a correction to the fuel racks. • Ask yourself: which part of the engine is specifically designed to control fuel delivery to maintain a set speed under varying load? • Consider which parts mainly provide mechanical motion (timing/rotation) and which part is dedicated to SPEED REGULATION and fuel control.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice is the primary speed‑regulating device in a diesel engine, not just a rotating shaft. • Confirm which component is mechanically linked to the fuel racks / fuel injection pump control rods. • Eliminate any parts that mainly serve for timing (valve or injection timing) or inertia/rotation rather than active fuel control.
