Over-Boost Protection

Over-boost protection circuit consists of a pressure switch, switch-over valve and wiring. When boost pressure exceeds 16 psi (1.12 kg/cm2 ), pressure switch closes, grounding switch-over valve.

The valve vents manifold pressure which would otherwise affect aneroid compensator on injection pump. This reduces quantity of fuel injected and engine speed.
