General Information
Need For KSB on 1988 VE Pumps
Emission requirements for 1988 prompted the need for a
cold start timing advance system (KSB) to minimize white
smoke.
After the engine starts, the wax motor-style KSB fully ad-
vances the ignition timing at low idle until the engine warms
up. The KSB is not functional after the engine reaches
71C [160F] coolant temperature.
KSB Hardware Definition
There are currently two versions of pump-mounted wax
motor-style KSBs released in the Cummins system and one
remote-mounted version. The remote-mounted option is
necessary in applications where the pump-mounted KSB
causes interference with the air compressor.
