A UHC emission source analysis was done for a lean burn natural gas-fired engine. The possible sources were chosen as wall quenching, crevices, too slow turbulent burning velocities, and flame quenching by excessive turbulence. By making each source analysis for each possible source, it was discussed qualitatively what the major source is, while engine geometry (crevice volume), equivalence ratio, and ignition timing were varied.
