PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF THE 2-CYCLE ENGINE

As the piston rises, it opens the inlet port and begins to draw a fresh mixture into the crankcase.
This is because the increasing crankcase volume lowers the crankcase air pressure below atmosphere.
At the same time, combustion chamber pressure begins to increase. See figure 1
Piston reaches top of its stroke, spark plug ignites the mixture. See figure 2
Rapid expansion of ignited mixture pushes the piston down. The inlet port closes. See figure 3
Fuel supply: As piston descends in cylinder, it creates air pressure in the crankcase which escapes
through the fuel pump port in crankcase to the fuel pump causing the fuel pump membrane to expand.
As piston rises in cylinder, a vacuum is created inside the crankcase causing the fuel pump membrane
to contact. This process now creates a pumping action in the fuel pump, and to keep the gas flowing in
an upward direction to the carburetor, the pump has two check balls which act as one-way valves.
Exhaust begins. The burned gas is forced out due to high pressure in the combustion chamber. See
figure 4

Transfer port opens. Descending piston forces fresh mixture through transfer port to combustion
chamber. The incoming fresh mixture helps to push exhaust mixture out. See figure 5
Exhaust port closes. Compressions begins. See figure 6

IGNITION
Flywheel Magneto

The Solex ignition magneto is of a compact, rotary magnet design. It

provides a high voltage for the spark plug and low voltage current for
lights and horn. Facing each other inside the flywheel are 4 fixed magnets
spaced at 90 degrees. Alternate magnets show alternate north and
south poles. Inside the flywheel is a cam which opens the points and a
key to locate the flywheel on the crankshaft.

Ignition Circuit

The ignition circuit consists of an ignition coil with the primary winding,
contact points to interrupt the primary circuit, a condenser, and a secondary winding.

Operation

As the flywheel magnets rotate past the coil, a current is induced in the
primary winding. The primary winding of the ignition coil sends the current
to the moving contact which, at the closed position, is grounded to the
fixed contact. As the flywheel rotor revolves, the cam opens the points;
the current is no longer grounded and, therefore, must move. The current
moves to the secondary winding of the ignition coil, producing a high tension current which goes to the spark plug lead and ignites the mixture in
the cylinder.

Condenser

A condenser is a tight roll of two strips of foil sandwiched between three

insulator strips. Because of its large metallic surface area, a condenser
has the ability to store small amounts of electrical energy. The amount
of stored energy depends on the condenser size (rated in micro-farads)
and the applied voltage.
Furthermore, electrical occilations, a phenomenon known as resonance,
occurs whenever a charged condenser and matched inductive coil are
placed together in a closed circuit.
The condenser is in parallel with the points and acts as a safety valve by
providing a path for the current to follow when the points open. Current
flows to the condenser instead of jumping the point gap, thereby preventing burning of the points.

CARBURETOR
Principle

The Solex carburetor is supplied with fuel by a crankcase pressure activated fuel pump. Fuel is pumped from the fuel tank through the fuel pump
to the carburetor at which time the fuel needed is metered through the
fuel jet, combined with air. This mixture goes to the cylinder.
The Solex carburetor consists of 13 parts:

Throttle barrel
Cable bracket

Slide fixing bolt
Slide spring
Carburetor filter

The fuel is delivered to the carburetor through the fuel supply pipe, at
which time it is filtered (A). The amount of fuel needed is then metered
by the fuel jet (B) into the cylinder, and the surplus fuel delivered by the
pump is returned to the fuel tank through the overflow pipe (C). This principle avoids the need of a float because there is always the proper
amount of fuel at the jet. See figure 7
After the fuel is metered through the fuel jet, it combines with air from
the air jet (D) through the choke assembly (E) to the mixing chamber (F)
and proceeds through the diffuser (G) which vaporizes the fuel mixture.
This vaporized fuel mixture proceeds through the air horn (H), through
the throttle barrel (I) to the inlet pipe, then to the cylinder when the inlet
port is opened (See figures 1 thru 6).

Throttle Barrel

The throttle barrel controls the amount of the vaporized fuel entering
into the cylinder.
When completely opened, it draws more air through the air horn, which in
turn increases the fuel mixture in the diffuser, which in turn causes the
motor to turn faster.
As the throttle barrel closes, the amount of air drawn through the air
horn decreases, which in turn decreases the fuel mixture in the diffuser,
which in turn causes the motor to turn slower.

Idle

The throttle barrel has been modified by the factory to give a proper control when idling. There is a special manufactory control on this modified
barrel indicated by a blue spot on the carburetor body. his modification
is so critical that the company does not wish you making this operation,
but suggest you replace this part if the carburetor does not have this
control mark.

Choke

The choke lever control the amount of air entering through the air jet. By
closing the choke lever, you decrease the amount of air, thereby enriching
the full mixture in the mixing chamber, which in turn creates more combustion in the cylinder; thus, allowing your engine to start more easily
when cold.

AUTOMATIC COMPOUND CLUTCH

Clutch Components

The automatic compound clutch is comprised of: a drum, integral with

the drive roller, and a system of bobweights and shoes integral with the
crankshaft. See figure 8
The vaned rotor and the flywheel magneto cover form a fan which cools
the engine when it is running and enables it to idle without overheating.
WARNING: Never run the engine with the flywheel cover removed.

Clutch Action

The clutch is a single action, centrifugal clutch that starts the engine as
well as propels the machine.

Starting the Engine

When stationary, the flyweights (F) due to the action of the springs (S)
press the centrifugal clutch arms (A) and pads (P) against the drive
roller drum (D). When the front wheel begins to revolve, the engine is
turned. See figure 9

Normal Running

When the throttle is opened the speed of the engine increases, forcing
the flyweights further away from each other, thus forcing the centrifugal
clutch arms and pads further against the drive roller drum transmitting
power from the crankshaft to wheel through the drum and the drive
roller. See figure 10
Normal RPM at full speed is 3800 RPM.

Slow Down and Idle

Figure 8

When the engine reaches idling speed (1500 RPM), the flyweights move
outwards due to centrifugal force. During this time the centrifugal force
is overridden by the power of the springs. The pressure of the pads on
the drum is reduced by the contraction of the centrifugal clutch arms
allowing the clutch pads to slip while the engine continues to run. Power
is now discontinued from the drive roller drum and drive roller allowing the
engine to idle. See figure 11

1. Roll the throttle twist grip to the closed position.

2. Loosen the cable pulley nut and release the cable from the pulley (7mm
wrench).
3. Release the cable shouldered end from the bracket on the throttle
arm.
4. At the throttle twist grip, pull back the shouldered end of the cable
outer cover and remove the cable from the cable guide.
5. Pry back the rubber twist grip flange and remove the cable end ball.
6. Grease and fit a new throttle cable as described for the brake cables.

Reassembling

1. Reassemble in reverse sequence.

NOTE: Check that the throttle cable shouldered end at the throttle arm
is correctly seated in the bracket on the throttle arm.
2. Start the engine and check for correct throttle operation (page 28).
3. If the engine runs too fast when the throttle twist grip is in the
closed position, loosen the pulley nut and adjust the tension on the cable
until smooth idling is reached.
4. Tighten the pulley nut (7mm wrench).

and remove the cable end ball from the lever.
4. Pull on the cable at the cable end ball and remove the cable from outer
cover.
5. Grease and fit a new decompressor cable as described for the brake
cables.

Reassembling

1. Reassemble in reverse sequence.

NOTE: Check that the spring is correctly placed between the lever and
the decompressor cylinder head bracket.
2. When squeezing the decompressor lever at the throttle twist grip and
decompressor cable end at the cylinder head bracket should travel about
1/8 inch and never less than 1/32 inch.
3. Loosen the cable clamp and adjust the tension on the cable until the
