Abstract

An internal combustion engine assembly including an internal combustion engine (10) including an engine block (30) having at least one cylinder (14), a piston (46) mounted within the cylinder (14) for reciprocal movement in the cylinder (14), a fuel injector (62) for injecting fuel into the cylinder (14), the fuel injector (62) initiating a fuel injection event at a predetermined time and a circuit for generating a spark in the cylinder a predetermined amount of time after the injection event to cause combustion of fuel in the cylinder (14).
