Only ten years ago the two stroke engine was widely and quite understandably thought to be a reasonable alternative to the four stroke only when minimum weight and manufacturing cost were all important considerations.

Gordon Jennings Two Stroke Tuners Handbook. For the Ottocycle engine, of which the twostroke is an example, there is a theoretical level of efficiency, in terms. The two stroke was recognized as having substantial theoretical promise, as it delivered a power stroke for each 3. A very few engines had begun to appear in which some of the theoretical promise was realized however, and this encouraged engineers at MZ, Yamaha and Suzuki to persist in their efforts to wring competitive power output from the racing two stroke engine. To say that they were ultimately successful would be gross understatement. Those engineers were motivated by the need to demonstrate that the two stroke engine, per se, was worthwhile as that would stimulate sales of their companies ordinary touring models. My own interest in the two stroke, which had reached the level of an obsession by 1. I like to tinker with engines, and the complexities of the poppet valve four stroke make modifications very expensive.

In contrast, a two stroke engines valve timing may be altered simply by reshaping the holes in its cylinders, and its power output markedly changed by utilizing inertia and resonant effects in its intake and exhaust tracts. None of these modifications are costly. On the other hand, while the two stroke engine does not commonly require large dollar inputs to raise its power output, it does require an in depth under standing on the part of the man doing the modifications. In an attempt to acquire that understanding I began a study of the high speed, high output two stroke engine that has led to the collection of a minor library of text books and SAE papers. And to an endless series of experiments, some of them illuminating and many others raising more questions than they have answered. At this stage I have arrived at more or less satisfactory explanations for most of the gross phenomena, such as the general behavior of expansion chambers and port time area values, and I flatter myself to think that just that much is an acceptable excuse for writing this book for the guidance of the layman experimenter. If it will not supply all of the answers it will at least take care of the fundamental problems and prevent the worst mistakes. My special thanks to Mr. John Brooks, of Mc. Culloch Engineering, who has done much to dilute my once pure ignorance but should not be held accountable for the residue found herein. Also to the late Henry Koepke, who mistakenly assumed that I knew something about two stroke engines and supported my early research to my old friend Joe Parkhurst, who started me working on this book nearly ten years ago but never got it and finally to Tom Heininger, who wheedled, needled, pleaded, complained and cajoled until I hammered my file of notes into publishable form. Throughout this book it will be assumed, inconvenient though that assumption may occasionally be, that the reader has progressed to at least a superficial knowledge of the manner in which a piston type internal combustion engine with particular reference to those operating on the two stroke cycle principle converts quantities of fuel and air into useful power delivered at the end of its crankshaft. People who need enlightenment in that regard will find a wealth of explanatory literature collected on the shelves of any public library no real purpose would be served by lingering over the matter here. Neither will I attempt to instruct you in the elementary mathematics and physics required to grasp much of what follows, as again the public library is an entirely adequate source of information. What will be provided is a kind of  state of the art report about high speed, high output two stroke engines for laymen who in most cases do not have access to the literature SAE papers, etc. Many have learned, to their sorrow, that it is distinctly possible to lavish enormous amounts of time and money on the two stroke engine without realizing a return appropriate to the investment. The information to be provided here will not make you a Kaaden, or Naito it will help you to avoid some of the more serious mistakes. The first serious mistake a layman experimenter can make is to assume that those who designed and manufactured his particular engine didnt know what they were doing. In point of fact, the professional engineer knows very well, and if the engine in question is something other than what the experimenter has in mind, there are excellent reasons all engines are compromised, from what you might consider an ideal, in the interest of manufacturing economy and broad usefulness. For example, ports may derive their shape as much from what the design engineer intended to be a low scrap rate casting as from consideration of flow characteristics. In other words, even something like ports design always will be influenced by the demands of mass production manufacturing. Similarly, designing for mass market sales implies that an engine must be agreeable to many different uses even though that inevitably means that it will do no single thing particularly well. In these areas will we find the latitude for  improving an engine, and one should always be mindful that the real task is simply to tailor a mass use product to a very specific application and that in the tailoring process one inevitably will incur all the various expenses the engines designer has avoided. Hours of labor may be required to finish rough cast ports dollars will be spent correcting other things that are the creatures of manufacturing economies power added at maximum revs will be power subtracted at lower crankshaft speeds, while the increased speeds required to obtain large improvements in power output will be paid for in terms of reliability. Another mistake commonly made, sometimes even by those who have enjoyed some success in modifying two stroke engines, is to believe in a kind of mechanistic magic. Bigger carburetors, higher compression ratios, altered port timings and expansion chambers often do bring an improvement in power output, but more and bigger is not magically, instantly better. All must work in concert with the basic engine, directed toward the particular application, before they constitute a genuine improvement. You cannot treat them as a voodoo incantation, hoping that if you mutter the right phrases and stir the chicken entrails in the prescribed manner, your mild mannered, all purpose chuffer will be transformed into a hyper horsepower fire breather. With a lot of luck, you might get that result the chances heavily are that you wont.
