2-Cycle Snow Engine Section 1 - General Information SECTION 1 compresses the fuel mixture (Item Figure 2) that is on the bottom side of the piston in the crankcase. GENERAL INFORMATION TWO-CYCLE ENGINE THEORY In a piston-ported engine, the fuel mixture enters the crankcase through a port that comes directly from the carburetor (commonly referred to as a “third port”), See item...
2-Cycle Snow Engine Section 1 - General Information port. As it continues, it compresses the fuel mixture in voltage is converted by a rectifier into a DC signal, which is then stored in a capacitor (Figure 6). the combustion chamber (Item Figure 4).
2-Cycle Snow Engine Section 1 - General Information REWIND STARTER At slower speeds, the flywheel magnet induces a smaller charge in the trigger coil. This action triggers the (SCR), enabling easier starting in a “retarded firing position” The rewind starter operates through a retainer/friction -about 5°...
