Reduction of Fuel Consumption of a Spark-Ignition Two-Stroke Cycle Engine 830093

The paper describes and lists the performance characteristics of a 400 cm³ single-cylinder two-stroke cycle engine with natural-aspiration, spark-ignition and carburetter control of gasoline fuel. The engine features an uncomplicated and unique system of stratified-charging which helps reduce the short-circuited loss of fuel during scavenging. With an untuned exhaust system the engine produces a peak power of 13 kW at 5500 rev/min and a brake specific fuel consumption which has a minimum of 0.265 kg/kWh but, more importantly, virtually the entire speed and load range is below 0.34 kg/kWh (0.55 lb/hp. hr). All performance characteristics at several throttle openings are presented at various engine speeds as a function of air/fuel ratio.
