The gas flow here is basically unrelated to anything the engine is doing. The flow rate is a minimum of sixty liters per hour continuous the entire time the engine is running. That's the specified minimum output of the fuel pump. The fuel pump circulates at least one full fuel tank through the piping every hour, and the engine sips more-or-less delicately from the flood as it goes rushing by. Maybe the motorcycle does it that way too, maybe not. But there's no has to be about it. Yours, David |
