Motorcycle Repair: i need this for my college course, fuel air mixture, stroke work
Questiondescribe what is meant by two-stroke exhaust pulsations with regards to mixture retention.
AnswerMartin,
Interesting. I'm not really positive what "mixture retention" exactly refers to. I would imagine it refers to the fuel air mixture that remains in the combustion chamber post ignition and how that effects the rapid regularity of 2-stroke exhaust pulses. Possibly if incomplete ignition occurs, the pulse loses it's cadence and effects the cyclic draft/mixture flow that makes a 2-stroke work effeciently.
Sorry I can't be of any difinitive help. Let me know what the text book answer is when you find out, I'd be interested.
