Practice question

In a two-stroke motorcycle engine, how does the crankcase act as a pump during operation?

  1. The downward stroke of the piston pressurizes the fuel-air charge in the crankcase, forcing it up through transfer ports
  2. It uses a separate mechanical impeller driven by the clutch basket
  3. It uses a vacuum-operated diaphragm mounted inside the oil sump
  4. The rotation of the flywheel magnetically forces the fuel mixture into the cylinder

Answer: A — The downward stroke of the piston pressurizes the fuel-air charge in the crankcase, forcing it up through transfer ports
