Abstract

With the rapid advancement of technology, carburetor systems in motorcycles have been replaced by Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems, which automatically regulate fuel delivery via an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). However, poor fuel quality often leads to injector clogging and increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, reducing engine performance. To address this, an injector cleaning device was developed using the reverse engineering method to restore injector functionality and improve combustion efficiency. Based on observations at several motorcycle workshops, including the Automotive Laboratory, it was found that injectors clogged with deposits are often difficult to clean using conventional methods. As a result, there is a tendency to replace them with new injectors, leading to higher maintenance and repair costs. With the custom-designed cleaning tool, the cleaning process for dirty injectors can be carried out effectively, achieving a significant result: 99.5% functionality, comparable to a new standard injector. This is expected to reduce maintenance and repair costs, thereby improving the mechanical performance of motorcycle workshops.
