🔍 Key Concepts

• Diesel engine runaway / overspeed – what physically keeps the engine turning faster and faster? • How fuel supply and air supply affect combustion in a diesel engine. • Difference between electrical starting system and what keeps the engine running once it’s already started.

💭 Think About

• Once a diesel engine is overspeeding, what two things must be controlled to actually stop combustion inside the cylinders? • Would removing electrical power to the starter motor affect an engine that is already running at high speed on its own? Why or why not? • If the governor has already failed, which action will still reliably stop the engine’s power production the quickest?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice actually stops combustion in the cylinders, rather than just affecting accessories or cooling. • Check which option works even if the governor or controls have failed. • Ask: which option removes what the engine absolutely must have to keep running – fuel and/or air?
