SELAeNii Introduces CPI • The 1890's gave us the carburetor. With the '30's came fuel injection, and since then not much else , except for further so phistication to make the basic principles involved operate more efficiently. W e have a new approach-CP I. It's not a Carburetor or Fuel Inj ecti on. CP I stands for Controlled, low-Pressure Induction. With CPI, air passes through a venturi that is VARIABLE and CONSTANTLY SYMMETRICAL. Whaf this do es for power and response is quite frankly, remarkable. A CPI device is inherent ly simple; on ly 5 moving parts, out of a total of 22. It's effective, reliable, and doesn't need any complicated tuneup (all that can be adjusted is the idle). Thanks to its unique Atomizing Tube, a CPI system ac hieves a fuel/air mixture that is homogeneous to a degree unequalled by any other method that we know of. Fuel and air is mixed in the atomizing chamber in the middle portion of the atomizing tube and released in a "fog-like" form, from two rows of parallel holes on the underside of the atomizing tube. A CPI mixture gives more power for less fuel , 'a nd less pollution, due to better combustion. Anyway , we think it's an incredible device that's going to make a lot of people happy . If yo u'd like to kn ow more, dr op us a line, and we'll send you a brochure.
