<p>A two-stroke engine (10) includes a crankshaft (12) that is rotatable about an axis (14), and an engine block (20) that includes a combustion cylinder (28) and a compression cylinder (26). A first piston (38) is slidably disposed within the combustion cylinder (28) and is operatively coupled to the crankshaft (12) for reciprocating movement within the combustion cylinder (28) through a power stroke during each rotation of the crankshaft (12) about the axis (14). A second piston (36) is slidably disposed within the compression cylinder (26) and is operatively coupled to the crankshaft (12) for reciprocating movement within the compression cylinder (26) such that fresh air is received and compressed in the compression cylinder (26) during each rotation of the crankshaft (12) about the axis (14).</p> |
