How a 2-stroke Engine works – Principle - Troubleshooting

The 2-Stroke Internal Combustion Engine Troubleshooting
A two-stroke cycle or “two-cycle” engine produces one power stroke for every revolution of its crankshaft. Intake and compression occur during the piston’s “up” stroke; power and exhaust occur during the “down” stroke.  Six distinct processes occur during every revolution of the crankshaft, and a loss or weakness of even one of these processes will affect the other five.
Piston Ported Induction
1. Intake
As the piston moves up toward the cylinder head, a low pressure (vacuum) is created in the crankcase. As the moving piston uncovers the intake port, atmospheric pressure pushes a fresh charge of fuel-air mixture into the crankcase.  The mixture accomplishes two functions before it is moved to the combustion chamber:
■ Oil suspended in the mixture coats all internal engine parts including cylinder walls, crankshaft, and bearings.
■ The atomized fuel mixture absorbs heat as it enters the crankcase, lowering the engine’s operating temperature.
2. Compression
As the piston continues to move upward and cover the cylinder ports, the combustion chamber is sealed and compression begins.  The air-fuel mixture introduced during the previous revolution’s transfer cycle is now trapped and becomes compressed between the piston and cylinder head.
3. Ignition
As the piston approaches the top of the cylinder, the spark plug fires and ignites the fuel-air mixture. To compensate for increases in engine rpm, spark timing is advanced electronically.

4. Power (combustion)
The fuel-air mixture expands rapidly as it burns, forcing the piston down the cylinder.  Piston movement is transferred to the crankshaft through the connecting rod, rotating the crankshaft.
5. Exhaust
Expanding gasses continue to force the piston downward, exposing the exhaust port. Most of the spent combustion gasses are expelled through the exhaust port.
6. Transfer
The piston’s downward movement covers the intake port and uncovers the transfer port, while simultaneously compressing the fresh fuel-air mixture drawn into the crankcase during Step 1. As the transfer port is uncovered, the fresh mixture swirls rapidly into the cylinder.
As the fresh fuel-air mixture enters the cylinder, it also helps to push or scavenge any remaining exhaust gasses out through the exhaust port.
The burning mixture expands, forcing the piston down and compressing the fresh mixture in the crankcase. As the piston exposes the transfer port, crankcase pressure forces fresh mixture into the combustion chamber and helps push the remaining exhaust gasses through the exhaust port.
1.Intake
As the piston moves up toward the cylinder head, low pressure (vacuum) created in the crankcase allows atmospheric pressure to open the reed valve and push a fresh charge of fuel-air mixture into the crankcase.  The fuel-air mixture accomplishes two functions before it is moved to the combustion chamber:
■ Oil suspended in the mixture coats all internal engine parts including cylinder walls, crankshaft, and bearings.
■ The atomized fuel mixture absorbs heat from the crankcase, lowering the engine’s operating temperature.
2.Compression
As the piston continues to move upward and cover the cylinder ports, the combustion chamber is sealed and compression begins.  The air-fuel mixture introduced during the previous revolution’s transfer cycle is now trapped and becomes compressed between the piston and cylinder head.
3. Ignition
As the piston approaches the cylinder head, the spark plug fires and ignites the fuel-air mixture. To compensate for increases in engine rpm, spark timing is advanced electronically.
Reed Valve Induction System (reed valve open)
4. Power (combustion)
The fuel-air mixture expands rapidly as it burns, forcing the piston down the cylinder.  Piston movement is transferred to the crankshaft through the connecting rod, rotating the crankshaft.
5. Exhaust
Expanding gasses continue to force the piston downward, exposing the exhaust port. Most of the spent combustion gasses are expelled through the exhaust port.
6. Transfer
The piston’s downward movement compresses the fuel-air mixture drawn into the crankcase during Step 1, causing the reed valve to close. As the moving piston uncovers the transfer port, the fresh mixture swirls rapidly into the cylinder.  As the fresh fuel-air mixture enters the cylinder, it also helps to push or scavenge any remaining exhaust gasses out through the exhaust port.
Troubleshooting
Mechanical failure of any carburetor is far less common than problems arising from contaminated fuel, improper adjustment, or operator abuse.  Carburetor operation is directly affected by the quality of air and fuel entering the carburetor! Before troubleshooting or adjusting any carburetor, inspect fuel and air filters for cleanliness, operation, and proper installation.
1.Is the fuel tank filled with clean, fresh fuel of the proper grade and mixture?
2. Check for spark.
3. Compression at least 100 psi or above?
4. Is the air filter clean and properly installed?
5. Are the spark arrestor and muffler clean and properly installed?
6. Inspect fuel filter, and check fuel lines for leaks/deterioration. Pressure-test fuel system for leaks.
7. Inspect the impulse tube or passage for condition and operation. Pressure-test crankcase as required.
8. Inspect the tank vent. Clean or replace as required
9. Reset carburetor mixture adjustments.
10. Pressure test the carburetor for pop-off and reseat values.

5. Restart the computer.
6. Remove any recently added hardware and associated software.
7. Remove any recently added software and reboot.
8. Restore system and file settings from a known good date using System Restore.  If the issue is not fixed, repeat the preceding steps and select an earlier time and date.
9. Run the Event Viewer to check the events log for errors. For more information see Windows Help and Support.
10. Roll back the mouse driver to the previous version if updated recently.
11. Remove and reinstall the mouse driver.
12. Check the Device Manager to determine that:
• The device is properly installed. There are no red Xs or yellow exclamation marks.
• There are no device conflicts.
Intermittent Problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement
should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.  When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.
3. If any error is detected
Undetermined Problems
The diagnostic problems does not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed devices are incorrect, whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is inoperative.  Follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate non-defective FRU).
NOTE: Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.
NOTE: Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. 
1.Power-off the computer.
2. Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
• Non-Acer devices
• Printer, mouse, and other external devices
• Battery pack
• Hard disk drive
• DIMM
• CD-ROM/Diskette drive Module
• PC Cards
4. Power-on the computer.
5. Determine if the problem has changed.
6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failing FRU.
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRU one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU:
• System board
• LCD assembly, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.
Chipset POST Codes [Bios Beep Codes]

If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, 2C 0002 means address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. 2E 1020 means data bits 12 and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. Note that error 30 cannot occur on 386SX systems because they have a 16 rather than 32-bit bus. The BIOS also sends the bitmap to the port-80 LED display. It first displays the check point code, followed by a delay, the high-order byte, another delay, and then the low-order byte of the error. It repeats this sequence continuously.
