An exemplary power management system may include a power source configured to receive a fuel supply and a transmission driveably engaged with the power source. A control system communicates with the power source and the transmission and is configured to determine a fuel supply limit associated with a desired speed of the power source. The fuel supply limit may be determined from a fuel curve associated with the machine. The control system is operative to modify at least a portion of the fuel curve based on a load condition of the power source.

Power management system

A jumper tube assembly connects a fluid supplying port of a fluid passing member to an inlet port of a fuel injector and passes fluid flow between the fluid supplying port and the inlet port. A tubular conduit of the jumper tube assembly is connected at a first end portion by brazing to a sealing member has a configuration sufficient to absorb a fluid applied load and provide a leak resistant joint at the inlet port to the fuel injector. The jumper tube assembly is particularly suited for use in a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine.
