PART 1051_CONTROL OF EMISSIONS FROM RECREATIONAL ENGINES AND VEHICLES
--Table of Contents
Subpart G_Compliance Provisions
Sec. 1051.615 What are the special provisions for certifying small
recreational engines?
(a) You may certify ATVs with engines that have total displacement
of less than 100 cc to the following emission exhaust standards instead
of certifying them to the exhaust emission standards of subpart B of
this part:
(1) 25.0 g/kW-hr HC+NOX, with an FEL cap of 40.0 g/kW-hr
HC+NOX.
(2) 500 g/kW-hr CO.
(b) You may certify off-highway motorcycles with engines that have
total displacement of 70 cc or less to the following emission exhaust
standards instead of certifying them to the exhaust emission standards
of subpart B of this part:
(1) 16.1 g/kW-hr HC+NOX, with an FEL cap of 32.2 g/kW-hr
HC+NOX.
(2) 519 g/kW-hr CO.
(c) You may use the averaging, banking, and trading provisions of
subpart H of this part to show compliance with this HC+NOX
standards (an engine family meets emission standards even if its family
emission limit is higher than the standard, as long as you show that the
whole averaging set of applicable engine families meet the applicable
emission standards using emission credits, and the vehicles within the
family meet the family emission limit). You may not use averaging to
meet the CO standards of this section.
(d) Measure emissions by testing the engine on a dynamometer with
the steady-state duty cycle described in Table 1 of this section.
(1) During idle mode, hold the speed within your specifications,
keep the throttle fully closed, and keep engine torque under 5 percent
of the peak torque value at maximum test speed.
(2) For the full-load operating mode, operate the engine at wide-
open throttle.
(3) See part 1065 of this chapter for detailed specifications of
tolerances and calculations.
(4) Table 1 follows:
