In this engine, the working cycle is completed in
two strokes of the piston or one revolution of
the crank shaft. It will be easier to describe the

position, the crank-case is directly connected to
the cylinder through port. During the downward
stroke of the piston, the charge in the crankcase
is compressed by the underside of the piston at
this position; the compressed charge (fuel &air)
is transferred through the transfer port to the
upper part of the cylinder. The exhaust gases are
swept out with the help of fresh charge.
