4. The Basics
Two stroke engines operate on the same principles as aTwo stroke engines operate on the same principles as a
four stroke engine.four stroke engine.
Intake- Fuel mixture is drawn intoIntake- Fuel mixture is drawn into crankcasecrankcase duringduring upstrokeupstroke
Compression- mixture is compressed in theCompression- mixture is compressed in the crankcasecrankcase duringduring

Combustion-fuel is recompressed and ignited in cylinder duringCombustion-fuel is recompressed and ignited in cylinder during

Exhaust- burned mixture is forced out byExhaust- burned mixture is forced out by fresh mixture beingbeing

9. Advantages
Less parts = LighterLess parts = Lighter
Fires once every revolution = 2x power ofFires once every revolution = 2x power of
