GENERAL
INFORMATION
The
e expanding
banding gases from the burning fuel
in
the
combustion chamber force the piston down the
cylinder, closing the third-port and increasing the
pressure
in
the crankcase. At a point approaching
the bottom of the stroke, the exhaust port opens and
the burnt gases begin to be expelled from the com-
bustion chamber (Fig.
4).

Power/Exhaust
At
a
point of piston travel slightly before bottom dead
center
(BBDC)
the fuel transfer ports, on the sides
c
the
cylinder walls, are uncovered and the com-
pressed fuel/air mixture in the crankcase
is
allowed
to
enter
the combustion chamber where they help
expel the burnt gases and charge the chamber fa
the
following piston stroke (Fig.
5).
