This is one of the best explanations of how they work I have ever seen. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@josearzola3070]

This explains the characteristic smell of the two stroke . Some of the raw mix excapes thru the exaust .sweet! Thank you very much.many many years nobody could tell me!

[@duckingtonedits2369]

This is absolutely without a doubt the best video I've ever seen regarding the basic working of a two-stroke engine.

[@HughesMotorized]

Thank you. Glad to help

[@glitterbrains69]

Wow! You actually cut one in half, that's really great. I'm not exactly new to this stuff but man, thats really above and beyond. Learning tools like that are completely invaluable. Cut aways are probably my favorite tool for engineering explanations, I'm really surprised this is the first time I've seen one of these China girl/Russian type motors cut open. Very cool, sorry for the super long comment 😅 definitely got a subscriber here lol.

Glad you liked it!

[@tonykartracer8032]

Awesome video, sir! Great tutorial.

[@bernardosuarezcretton622]

very clear and with a lots of tips to work with

Excellent visual aid! Thank You

[@HughesMotorized]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MierCatCustomz]

Very informative , thank you for posting this info !

[@geraldmurillo5022]

My grey area with the 2 stroke began with the f/a mixture compressing underneath the piston and I never understood how it got into the combustion chamber. I never knew about the transfer ports. So thank you for this excellent demonstration!

[@HughesMotorized]

Glad it helped!

[@christopherbozeman6333]

Great visual aid. I just watched your porting video and it makes more sense now that I see the timing in action

[@HughesMotorized]

Glad it helped

[@Borkenheeimer]

Awesome video, thanks.

[@gotchurebeacons-gaming9023]

Great video! An awesome way to see the steps of the combustion series and pathways. In regards to porting, and perhaps you plan to touch on this in future videos, is the manifold ports. On your cutaway where the intake manifold marries to the cylinder head intake port, there’s an obvious “step” at the bottom that looks like it may restrict a bit of the intake gasses. I hope to see more videos that show things to look for on our China Dolls. Thanks again, bud!

[@HughesMotorized]

Great suggestion!

[@johnbird8605]

Great video!

[@gospelninja2.016]

fantastic visualization! you gave me what i needed to know. now im changing my bearings, trueing my piston, trimming the skirt for max airflow, then porting my intake and exhaust, and now jetting... boy, i have a lot of work to do. im still more interested of timing. and i have yet seen a video of the benefits on widening or cutting deeper. so im still on the fence on it. for now i think what i can do will help it tremendously possibly giving me 40mph on my 80cc zeta motor.

[@michaelbrinks8089]

The newer engines with these open transfer ports like in the video used on the Zeda Triple 40 come much better stock than the old closed port designs from years ago. The jugs aren't full of casting burrs & ports are already better shaped & angled from the factory. Same with the shape of these open transfer ports that push the intake charge towards the intake side of the cylinder instead of letting it get wasted & blown out the exhaust when it flows straight into the cyl. I bought a $120 Anbull that was good for the money just wish it had 8mm mount studs and hex/allen bolts. It looks like a Zeda Triple 40 minus the 8mm mounts & hex/allen bolts. The stock jetting was actually perfect when I ran it with the air filter off. The spark plug was a perfect brown color, to my surprise.

How can the piston go up in the compression stroke even though it is a single piston?

[@chadbrooks3508]

Thank u sir

[@Jay-tr6ts]

I am getting ready to replace my china bearings with the amazon ones you recommend. I have searched all utube videos. I know to use a arbor press on installation of bearings. Installing the oil seals not so much... Install them dry? Use oil? The 66cc Million dollar question I think only Eugene can answer. A bearing seal replacement video would be epic from Hughes Motorized in the future! Thank you

[@HughesMotorized]

use oil.... Will do a teardown & rebuild vid here soon

I'm working on a non running Honda Express 50 + am trying to learn and understand the two stroke.. I have basic knowledge of the 4-stroke as a ride a motorcycle and have to fix it frequently.

[@undeadpriest]

can change the air fuel ratio with different carb jets i guess?

[@Crimetvuk]

i have a question. what psi should i put in my tyres? i ride my bike really hard and don't stop for nothing (i live in a really sandy, rocky and sand & mud mix. i don't want to have them to hard and bounce off things and don't want to have them so soft i will end up pinching a tube.

[@HughesMotorized]

40psi is what I run

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

And I'm trying to understand the Reed valve but I think I know when the ignition charge is put into the crankcase which is oil and gas than the read shut so the air doesn't get forced back to the carburetor I think that's it

[@harrisonjermell1737]

Bra I got a screw stripped in my straight shaft 49cc trans bell hosing is it a other way to get it out then brack it down and putting a a new shaft in it ♥️💪💯

Hi Hughes, I have a question to ya regarding my motorized bike. I mounted an 80cc 2 stroke kit on a road bike with an in-hub gear, my question is: should I remove the gears system or is it fine if I just leave it there. Love your channel man, your vids have taught me a lot about those kits, big thanks from Romania.

[@HughesMotorized]

Leave them is fine. That way if you ever remove the engine you'll have a good road bike

[@StrelokRO]

@@HughesMotorized thanks man, I'll leave them there

[@Blanc247]

hello ty for your information,,i have a question i have been throwing around ,have yet to find an answer..recently into small engines ..i wonder when you pull the cord to start engine its threaded into crankshaft ,starts enginge,,then how does it disengage and not spin anymore ,,these are chinese 49cc 2 stokes.

[@HughesMotorized]

The starter has a cog/gear that pushes it to engage w/ the crankshaft when you pull on the rope. When it is not spinning a spring pushes it away and it no longer makes contact w/ the crankshaft

[@Blanc247]

[@jonathanjefferson8662]

[@bullscrazyadventures9941]

I've never ported engine, but I would like to port out my 49cc. Would this be a job I can learn from KZbin or would you recommend me not messing with it? My bike is in my videos.

[@marthamryglod291]

If you're handy with tools you can do the work on these motors. There isn't really a more simple engine that responds as well to modification than these ones.

[@keeganhache6667]

Wow that cool you cut it in half

[@kobematthews24]

I need help. My sparkplug will get hot and pop out of the engine while riding. What is the problem and how can I fix it? Now every time I put the sparkplug in it comes lose and no longer secure. What going ? How can I fix this problem. Besides that the bike run smoothly.

[@mahomolemafokwane3087]

GOOD VIDEO SIR, WHAT LIFTS THE PISTON UPWARD AS IS PUSHED DOWNWARD BY THE POWER OF COMBUSTION🤔

[@HughesMotorized]

Inertia. The crankshaft is weighted. A combination of the downward force and the spinning motion and the weight of the crank forces it back up

[@mahomolemafokwane3087]

@@HughesMotorized Thank you. And again how is the engine lubricated as we don't put oil in it

[@HughesMotorized]

@@mahomolemafokwane3087 The gas/oil mix goes into the crankcase and then is sucked into the combustion chamber which lubricates it

[@mahomolemafokwane3087]

@@HughesMotorized Thank you

[@hoodedcoolkid1]

Ok so the gas/oil mix does get into the motor part. Vs… a 4 stroke where the engine part is strictly only engine oil.

[@Saddletramp1200]

Nice job! If you ride it, you need to know how it works. (women not included) nobody can figure that out. 😂😎

[@HughesMotorized]

Amen...err Awimmen

[@zoologicalmilitia2241]

How cum the piston goes down but does not stay down what brings it back up?

[@HughesMotorized]

Inertia. It's moving quite fast plus the power of the combustion is forcing it around

I’m having a problem with my bike the rpms won’t go down it’s just reved up all the time and speeds up supper quick and won’t go back down

[@HughesMotorized]

Air intake leak most likely. Check that carb is fully pushed onto the intake. Then inspect intake gasket & mount. Could be crankshaft seals or even an issue in the case gasket. Spray WD40 on areas while engine is running and if the engine changes sound then you found the leak

[@seanosullivan662]

@@HughesMotorized how do you keep the bike running while it’s staying still

[@HughesMotorized]

@@seanosullivan662 screw in a little on idle adjuster on carb. Most 2 strokes run a little rough when new. I'll adjust the idle to where it's a little slow and use the throttle to keep running. A combination of little blips on the throttle and simply twisting it back a little. Do it by ear
