Coasting Fuel Cut Device

A fuel cut solenoid (which also acts as anti-dieseling solenoid) is mounted on carburetor. It is connected in series with several switches to detect engine coasting conditions. When coasting is sensed, solenoid valve (installed on primary side of carburetor) is energized, closing throttle valve and stopping fuel flow. This protects converter against poor combustion conditions caused by rich mixture.

On Man. Trans. models, accelerator switch, clutch switch, transmission neutral switch and engine speed switch are used.

On Auto. Trans. models, accelerator switch, inhibitor switch and engine speed switch are used. See Figure.
