2. Expansion chamber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_chamber

   Scooter exhaust with expansion chamber and silencer. On a two-stroke engine, an expansion chamber or tuned pipe is a tuned exhaust system used to enhance its power output by improving its volumetric efficiency.

3. Tuned exhaust - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_exhaust

   A 4-2-1 exhaust system is a type of exhaust manifold for an engine with four cylinders per bank, such as an inline-four engine or a V8 engine. The layout of a 4-2-1 system is as follows: four pipes (primary) come off the cylinder head, and merge into two pipes (secondary), which in turn finally link up to form one collector pipe. [2] Compared ...

4. Two-stroke engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_engine

   Animation of a two-stroke engine. A two-stroke (or two-stroke cycle) engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston (one up and one down movement) in one revolution of the crankshaft in contrast to a four-stroke engine which requires four strokes of the piston in two crankshaft revolutions to complete a power cycle.

5. Two-stroke power valve system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_power_valve_system

   A stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its cylinder.In a two-stroke engine, one of the two strokes combines primarily the intake stroke and the combustion stroke, while the other stroke primarily combines the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke, though technically since both ports are exposed during both the combustion and compression strokes, some reversion ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_parts_of...

   For a two-stroke engine, there may simply be an exhaust outlet and fuel inlet instead of a valve system. In both types of engines there are one or more cylinders (grey and green), and for each cylinder there is a spark plug (darker-grey, gasoline engines only), a piston (yellow), and a crankpin (purple). A single sweep of the cylinder by the ...

7. Scavenging (engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenging_(engine)

   This method requires that the exhaust pipe is long enough to contain the gas slug for the entire duration of the stroke. As the Crossley engine was so slow-revving, this resulted in an exhaust pipe with a length of 65 feet (20 m) between the engine and its cast-iron 'pot' silencer. [2]
