2. INTRODUCTION
 In 1878, Dugald-clerk, a british engineer introduced a cyle which
could be completed in two stroke of piston rather than four
strokes as is the case with the four stroke cycle engines. the
engines using this cycle were called two stroke cycle engines.
 In this engine suction and exhaust strokes are eliminated.
 Here, instead of valves, ports are used. The exhaust gases are
driven out from cylinder by the fresh charge of fuel entering the
cylinder nearly at the end of the working stroke.

3. 2 Stoke Engines
 Everything a 4 stroke engine
does in 2 revolutions a 2
stroke engine does in 1
revolution of the crankshaft.
How to identify 2 stroke
engine from outside:
• Exhaust port in center of
cylinder
• Small crankcase

5. WORKING OF 2 STROKE PETROL ENGINE:
FUEL INTAKE:
 Piston moves BDC to TDC
 Reed Valve Is sucked open
 Air/Fuel/Oil mixture sucked
into crankcase

6. COMPRESSION STROKE
 Piston moves TDC To BDC
 Reed Valve sealing
 Air/Fuel/Oil mixture is now
pressurized in crankcase
 Air/Fuel/Oil mixture squirts into
cylinder because of crankcase
compression

7. COMBUSTION & EXHAUST STROKE
 Air/Fuel/Oil mixture is
ignited in cylinder
 Reed valve close
 Every time the piston
reaches TDC, there is
another power stroke.

9. Advantages of 2 stroke petlrol engine:
Smaller/lighter
Cheaper
Less friction
No oil to change
Quicker acceleration
Operate at different angles

10. Disadvantages of 2 stroke petlrol engine:
 The lack of a dedicated lubrication system means that the parts of a two-
stroke engine wear a lot faster.
 Two-stroke engines do not use fuel efficiently, so you would get fewer
miles per gallon.
 Two-stroke engines produce a lot of pollution -- so much, in fact, that it is
likely that you won't see them around too much longer.
