Hi Ken et al.,
it's Air Flow Controlled referring to the fact that the air sucked in by the
engine gets metered and the corresponding amount of fuel injected. The 80-83
air-cooleds are called AFC even though the above fuel injection principle is
the same for the watercooleds. Their fuel injection control unit is slightly
different and called digijet (83-85) and digifant (from 86 - don't ask me how
the (ele?)fant came into this - or is it from 'fantastic'?). Hope I didn't
use a new abbreviation and Happy New Year,
Michael, Germany
80 Westy (AFC)
86 GL (digifant)
