What Is a V-Twin 2 Stroke Engine?
A V-twin, two stroke engine is a two-cylinder engine oriented in a “V” formation, which fires a mixed fuel of gas and oil every revolution.The two stroke engineTwo-stroke engines fire once every revolution of the crankshaft. For each revolution, there are two strokes.Stroke 1 or “Up-stroke”On the upwards stroke, fuel enters the cylinder, is compressed and ignited.Stroke 2 or “Down-stroke”The second or “down-stroke” delivers power to the crankshaft and expels the exhausted fuel, completing one revolution in two strokes.A Simple EngineTwo stroke engines use a mixed fuel of gasoline and oil, have no conventional valves, or dedicated lubrication system and thus have fewer parts than their four-stroke counterparts have. This makes them a much simpler engine than other fossil fuel-powered engines.V-Twin engineA V-Twin engine has twin cylinders organized such that each makes up one arm of the letter “V”. The crankshaft is located at the bottom of the “V”.SignificanceThe value of the V-twin, t
