The two-stroke gasoline engine was once a marvel of engineering, offering up huge doses of power in small and lightweight ...

Since two-stroke engines have fewer moving parts, they are easier to manufacture, and logic would dictate they would be easier to maintain. That couldn't be further from the truth due to friction.

Every new internal combustion car and truck sold in America today is equipped with a four-stroke engine, as are the vast majority of motorcycles. Today, if you hear the loud, ringing song of a ...

The type of engine he’s making is a 2-stroke. That makes the design much simpler as there are no mechanically controlled valves a like 4-stroke motor. The piston ...

The two-stroke engine has a deserved reputation for being environmentally harmful, and this is the main reason why two-stroke engines are being consigned to the dustbin of history.

That said, these Austrian two-stroke machines aren’t fuel-injected in the same way as your car. Under the hood, most modern engines feature direct injection, where fuel is squirted directly into ...

In the most basic mechanical terms, a two-stroke engine is simpler than a four-stroke engine. It has fewer moving parts and requires fewer steps to achieve combustion. Key Differences Between a Two- ...

A working DIY two-stroke in all of its glory, with the flywheel removed. (Credit: Camden Bowen) How hard could it to be to build a two-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE) from scratch?

Since two-stroke engines are more polluting, they were banned for most street motorcycles. Still, they are used on lighter applications such as lawnmowers, generators, or go-karts.

Discover how Alpha-Otto's RevForce engine transforms two-stroke engines with a rotary valve, enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions.

Two-stroke engines used to be ubiquitous in dirt bike racing, thanks to their lightweight construction and horsepower. Packed in a dirt bike frame, they make a motorcycle playful in the corners ...
