Take a look at the cycle in: http://science.howstuffworks.com/two-stroke2.htm
Advantages of twostroke engines:
• The engine fires - spark plug ignites - once every revolution of the crankshaft. • They produce twice the power than four stroke engines. • They are much simpler than four stroke engines. Fewer parts to worry about.
Disadvantages:
• You have to mix twostroke engine oil with gas, and depending on your consumption, this might be expensive. • They last less. Lubrication is not as efficient as in a four stroke engine with
heavy oil. • Do not use gas efficiently. • Pollute more.
