TWO-CYCLE ENGINE THEORY AND
OPERATION
Theory
Two-cycle engines have special advantages
which make their use more practical in certain
applications. Two-cycle engines are lightweight
with an excellent power to weight ratio and can
be operated in any position. They are also
notably easy to maintain and service because of
their uncomplicated design.
The TORO Two-cycle Engine used on the TORO
Rotary Mowers is a third-port, loop scavenged
design. This design name describes the path of
/
the fuel
bustion chamber, and the exhausting of spent
gases.
In a loop-scavenge engine, a high pressure area
is created in the crankcase by the downward
movement of the piston. Pressurized fuel-air
mixture rushes into the combustion chamber
through the intake ports and is directed toward
the cylinder head. This fresh mixture then strikes
the cylinder head and loops down forcing burnt
gases in the combustion chamber out through
air mixture into the crankcase and com-

the exhaust ports. The third port design engine
has the carburetor mounted on the side of the
cylinder. The passage from the carburetor into
the crankcase is called the third port.
All
ports
within the engine are opened and closed by the
piston skirt as the piston moves up and down
within the cylinder.
Operation
The piston closes all engine ports as it moves
toward the combustion chamber (Figure 1-1). The
moving piston creates a high pressure in the combustion chamber and a partial vacuum in the
crankcase.

CARBURETOR THEORY AND OPERATION
Theory
The carburetor receives fuel from the tank and
it
mixes
with air in the right proportions to
provide a highly combustible mixture to the
engine.
As the piston moves up on the compression
stroke a partial vacuum is created within the
engine crankcase, causing the greater atmospheric pressure to force air to flow through the
carburetor into the cylinder. The velocity of the
air increases as it flows through the carburetor
venturi and the air pressure is reduced at this
point to less than atmospheric pressure. The
differences of pressure in the venturi of the
1-3
carburetor causes atmospheric pressure to push
rawfuel from the
bowl into theair
stream, where
float
it breaks up into a fine spray, or becomes atomized,
and mixes with the air stream (Figure
1-5).
Air passing through the pilot jet from the pilot air
fitting draws fuel out of the pilot jet orifice from
the float bowl. This fuel pre-mixes with the
incoming air, then is discharged into the carburetor bore where the fuel becomes atomized

Operation
When starting the engine, an extra rich mixture is
required. The choke plate is closed by the opera-
tor to provide an approximate
8:1
ratio of fuel to
air for this rich mixture. Closing the choke plate
further reduces the air pressure area in the
venturi to increase the fuel drawn into the car-
buretor bore. In this condition fuel is drawn from
the float bowl through the pilot system ports as
well as the main discharge tube to achieve the
proper starting mixture (Figure
Pilot System
1-6).

As
the throttle plate is opened to compensate for
1-7
loads the engine is being placed under, the main
discharge tube becomes the main source of fuel.
Opening the throttle plate increases the flow of
air through the venturi and strengthens the low
pressure area at the main discharge tube. Fuel
discharge increases at the main discharge tube
as
it
decreases from the pilot system. Air
is
drawn from the air correction jet through holes
along the length of the main discharge tube. This
pre-mixes air with the fuel before it enters the
carburetor bore for more efficient atomizing of
:he fuel (Figure
1-8).

1-6
Fuel atomization becomes more efficient, due to
heat, once the engine has reached normal
operating temperature.
As
a result, the engine
does not require the rich mixture it did for
starting and the choke plate must be moved
to
the open position. The engine speed is now
regulated by the throttle plate. In no load condi-
tions a small portion of the fuel may be drawn
from the main discharge tube, however the pri-
mary fuel supply is drawn from the pilot circuit.
