Fuel Mix
Uses a premix of gas and oil
Oil injectors used in some
Normal mixes range from 16:1 to 50:1
Typical “hot” engines 16:1
Typical “cool engine” 50:1
CHECK OWNERS MANUAL !!!
13
Advantage of Two Strokes
Runs in any position
More horsepower for size
Fewer moving parts
Lighter
14
Limitations of Two Strokes
Uses more fuel than four strokes
Fuel and oil must be mixed
Plugs foul easily
Poor emissions

3.0 Diesel Engine Theory
16
Introduction
• Invented by Rudolf Diesel between
1892 and 1893
• Internal Combustion Engine
• Reciprocating Engine
• Intermittent Combustion Engine
• Utilizes liquid fuel
• Compression Ignition vs. Spark
Ignition
• Heavy Duty Applications
17
Diesel Compression Ratio
20:1up to 25:1 common
Needed to ignite fuel
No spark plugs
18
Compression Ratios
“Squeeze” on air/fuel mixture before
combustion
Efficiency increases with higher CR
About 9:1 on gas autos
17:1 to 24:1 for diesel engines
About 24:1 CR max:
• too high compression for starting
• limiting strength of materials
• power loss- leakage around valves
19
Advantages of the Diesel
Engine
• High reliability
• Low fuel cost
• High power / lb. of engine
• Low fuel consumption
• Low fire hazard
• High torque at low RPM
• Greater heat efficiency- 30% (25% gas)
• Longer service intervals
20
Disadvantages of Diesel
Power
Expensive to repair
Hard starting in cold weather
Higher initial cost
21
Gasoline and Diesel Engine
Comparison
Gasoline power
stroke = 460 psi;
Diesel = 1200psi
Diesel heat
efficiency about
5% higher than
gasoline

Glow Plugs
Resistance unit to heat cold engines
Installed in cylinder head, sometimes in
special pre-combustion chamber
Some use intake heaters
In addition, block heaters for cold weather

Rotor and Apex Seals
Sometimes called Apex Seal Location
a “Rotary Piston”
Receives power
impulse from fuel
air mixture
Rotor has three
faces
Apex seals at tips-
like rings
29
Epitrochoidal Bore
E-Bore
Same purpose as
the cylinder walls
of the piston
engine
Epitrochoid curve,
generated by
rolling a circle
around another
circle Basic shape of epitrochoid
curve

Advantages and Limitations
Fewer moving parts
Single motion allows smoother
running
Compact engine, allows for more
space
Few manufacturers produce this
engine any longer

Summery (Cont)
What are the major differences in
parts between a 2 stroke & 4 stroke?
• Ports vs. Valves
• Reed valve vs. Valves
How is the fuel ignited in a deisel
engine?
• Compression
39
Summery (Cont)
The
Rotory (Wankel) engine uses
what type of bore?
• E- Bore
Whatact like rings in a rotory
engine?
• Apex seals
Air

can not?
• Compressed
