Practice question
Why must a two-stroke motorcycle engine that lacks a separate oil sump have oil mixed with the petrol or supplied through an oil-injection system?
- Because two-stroke engines do not need lubrication at all
- Because the crankcase in most two-stroke engines is also used to pre-compress the air-fuel mixture, so a wet sump of oil cannot be kept there, yet moving parts still need lubrication
- Because mixing oil with petrol increases the octane rating of the fuel
- Because oil mixed with petrol prevents the spark plug from fouling
Answer: B — Because the crankcase in most two-stroke engines is also used to pre-compress the air-fuel mixture, so a wet sump of oil cannot be kept there, yet moving parts still need lubrication
