    Abstract: An engine-knock controlling system for a carburetor-based engine includes one or more cylinders in which combustion occurs, wherein the system also includes a plurality of knock sensors coupled to an engine block, a first wiring harness, a first control unit, a second wiring harness, and a second control unit or an intermediate control unit, or a second control unit and intermediate control unit. The knock sensor(s) detects threatening engine-knock noise as an audible signal and transmits a signal through the wiring harnesses and control units to generate an ignition retarding action to correct the engine misfire and eliminate the knock/ping. Once the engine knock event is resolved, the processor of the first control unit transmits via the second wiring harness a signal to the second control unit or to the intermediate control unit, or to the second control unit and the intermediate control unit, to allow full-advance of ignition timing.
