MT50 Suzuki has outstanding mechanism s such as reed val ve, Suzuki "C.C.I." system and automatic clutch. The engine performance has been improved especially in low speed and climbing abilit y .
The size of the ports and timing of the ports are very important factors which determine the performance of the engine. The Suzuki MT50 engine has a reed intake valve and a third scavenging port, which result in ideal intake, scavenging and exhaust operations.

Of the various lubrication systems for two-stroke engines, Suzuki C.C .I. developed by the Suzuki Motor C o., Ltd., the world's leading producer of two-stroke engines, is not only the newest but is quite the best by a large margin.
Page 108
2-3. Features of Suzuki C.C.I. Mixing of gasoline and oil is eliminated. Pure, fresh oil is supplied directly to the engine so lubrication efficiency is excellent.
In ordinary clutches, friction'between the plates is released by pulling a lever which controls the release mechanism. A wet, multi-plate, automatic clutch which utilizes centrifugal force to engage and disen gage the plates is installed in the Suzuki MT50. 3-2. Explanation of Meehan ism Fig. 3-1.

B. Adjusting oil pump control cable. If the oil pump control wire is too taut, more oil is consumed and, not only will the engine become bad, but in some extreme cases, the throttle valve may not open completely. the other hand, if the control wire is too loose, it will affect the engine because the required amount of oil will not reach it.
9-15. Clutch The MT50 is equipped with a wet, multi-plate, automatic clutch which utilizes centrifugal force to engage and disengage the plates. Fig. 9-15-1 Clutch operation 9-15-1. Operation When the engine is stopped or running at low rpm, the rollers are pulled to the inside (2).

Primary gear Primar y pinion Kick starter lever Kick starter shaft Kick starter pinion Fig. 9-20-2 Kick starter mechanism Inside the kick starter pm1on is installed a ratchet mechanism consisting of a pawl, pawl roller and pawl spring. When the kick starter lever is depressed, the kick starter shaft turns in a counterclockwise direction as seen from the lever end of the shaft.
Page 161
Once the engine is started and the kick starter lever is released, the kick starter shaft is returned to its original position by the return spring and the pawl is pushed back out of the way by the kick starter shaft stopper so that the engine revs are not transmitted to the kick starter shaft.
9-20-3. Tips on disassembling and assembl The kick starter shaft assembly can be remov ed from the crankcase easily by hand, but take care not to lose the thrust washers, kick pawl spring or kick pawl roller. When assembling the kick starter system, be sure to f it one thrust washer on either side of the kick starter shaft large section.
Page 163
The crankshaft assembly is supported by two ball bearings which are shrink-fitted in the crankcase. The left crankshaft bearing is lubricated by the oil supplied under pressure from the oil pump. The right crankshaft bearing is lubricated by the transmission oil. The Needle bearings are installed on the large and small ends of the connecting rod, assuring smooth turning and minimum wear.

9-22. Gear Shifting Mechanism Gear shifting cam stopper Top pinion Top gear 9-22-1 Fig. Gear shifting mechanism 9-22-1. Operation When the gear shifting lever is depressed, the gear shifting pawl on the gear shifting shaft pushes the gear shifting cam pin, turning the gear shifting cam. At this moment guided by the gear shifting fork guides which slide in the grooves machined on the cam drum, the gear shifting forks move in the axial direction, causing the top gear and top pinion to travel on the splines of the shafts so that low, second or top is selected.
Page 166
An anti-Jumping contrivance is designed into the gear shifting mechanism to prevent the gears from jumping over the position wanted due to rotational inertia of the gear shifting cam even when the gear shifting lever is operated with a rapid motion. When the gears are shifted up, the gear shifting shaft arm holds the gear shifting cam stopper at point "...

Page 171
Starter plunger : The starter plunger is a kind of valve which controls the starter system. If it is raised, the passages for air and fuel are opened and a rich fuel/air mixture enough to start the coldest engine is dispensed. If it is lowered to the bottom, the passages are closed.
Page 172
9-25-3. Disassembling Remove four fitting screws with a cross head screw driver and separate the float chamber body from the mixing chamber body. Remove the float from the mixing chamber body by pulling the float pin out by hand. Be careful not to bend or raise the float tongue which contacts the needle valve and Fig.
Page 173
5. Check the tapered end of the needle valve for stepped wear. If the needle valve is worn, there will be left a gap between the valve seat and needle valve even when the fuel level in the float chamber rises and the float tongue pushes the needle valve, and an overflow will result.

11-2. Wheel Rim The wheel rim can be separated to R.H. and L.H. halves to get easier operation when tire is repaired or replaced. Be careful when installing the front and rear wheel rims, put then in correct place of drums with the air inflating valves faced toward right side respectively. Otherwise, the wheels will be found off-set in the front and rear suspensions as shown Fig.
