Fuel Applications

  • Fairbanks Morse Engine Accessories Operation, part of Colt Industries, outlines the benefits of their 9000RT Solid-State Ignition Generator in a new, colorful four-page brochure.

    Designed for six through 12-cylinder gas engines, the 9000RT fires all cylinders at or before 50 rpm to ensure fast, easy starts under a variety of load and temperature conditions.

    Call-outs identify other benefits such as precise spark positioning ( ± 1 degree), moisture-resistant housing, wide-band variable timing, low-starting speed and high-energy output.

    The brochure also highlights Fairbanks Morse Vartime Accessories.

    These manual and automatic controls allow for ignition timing adjustments, which makes the 9000RT ideal for dual fuel applications.

    The automatic control option can vary ignition timing continuously in response to changes in engine operating parameters.
