Course: Small Engine Technology I (20110-I) > Section: Understanding Two-Stroke Operation Theory and Components

Explanation should include

- intake/compression and power/exhaust
- events taking place during each of these two-stroke cycles
- exhaust/expansion chamber theory
- detonation and preignition and their effects.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are some ways two-stroke theory differs from four-stroke theory?
- Why is so much importance placed on the proper understanding of two-stroke theory?
- Why can a two-stroke engine run on its side and not a four-stroke?
