Practice question
In a two-stroke motorcycle engine, how does the crankcase act as a pump during operation?
- The downward stroke of the piston pressurizes the fuel-air charge in the crankcase, forcing it up through transfer ports
- It uses a separate mechanical impeller driven by the clutch basket
- It uses a vacuum-operated diaphragm mounted inside the oil sump
- 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
