Always start with the basics. If you jump to the mostcomplicated without having to know the basics, you’ll end upreturning to the very same ground. Thus, messing and missing alot. Same in the case of motorcycle, you have to know the differentmotorcycle parts, their function and distinction so as tounderstand their chemistry and importance. Let us take internalcombustion engine as an example. The best way to start is tohave a substantial comparison. You have to know the types ofengines in order to decide what’s best for you. You have toconsider its pros and cons…We have two types of motorcycle stroke…

You and your Bike’s Spark Plugs
There is much to learn about motorcycle spark plugs. There ismore than what meets the rider’s eyes.First things first. Let us distinguish the important differencesin spark plugs threaded ends. They come in four diameters andlengths. They come in nominal , and millimetersdiameters. Before there was a slight difference in threadconfiguration especially in different countries however, thiswas made uniform by the international standardization of thethread forms. These new dimensions are now being followed bymotorcycle parts manufacturers.Errors. People often make plug-reach errors. The very usualerror is using -inch plugs in -inch holes. The result ofthe same is pretty obnoxious. In time, when…

Why Select Two Strokes?
In our previous publication, we touched on the subject of-stroke diesel engines.http:www.free-engineering.comfwezine.htm . Today, we askwhy we choose to use -strokes? As you might remember, for a -stroke engine, the piston has tomove up, and then down to complete one cycle of the engine. Inthose strokes of the piston, the crankshaft will have turned revolution. In those strokes of the piston the engine has alsocompleted stages of the combustion cycle – air intake,compression, combustion and exhaust.Now, compare that with a -stroke engine. The piston moving downwill complete the air intake stroke. When it moves up again, thepiston completes the…

Bigger Power with Two Strokes!
What is a -stroke diesel engine?As the name suggests, these engines work on reciprocatingactions of pistons. One stroke means one linear motion of thepiston in one direction. When the piston moves in the oppositedirection, that is counted as another stroke.For a -stroke engine, the piston has to move up, and then downto complete one cycle of the engine. In those strokes of thepiston, the crankshaft will have turned revolution.The strokes of the piston is to complete stages of thecombustion cycle – air intake, compression, combustion andexhaust. As you might have known, in order for a fire orexplosion to occur…

Inside Knowledge About Diesel Engines
One of the most reliable internal combustion engines around isthe diesel engine. In many industrial installations, dieselengines are used as prime movers for the generation ofelectricity and for emergency air compressors.It’s true that they are rugged, but one of the most importantadvantages of these engines is the fact that they can be startedby manual cranking. In remote areas, diesel engines can becounted upon for starting up from scratch.Once a small diesel engine is started, it can be used to drive asmall electrical generator that can then be used to produceelectrical supply for driving other machines like pumps,compressors, and for…

Two and Four Stroke Engines
A few fast responses and facts about Two and Four Stroke Engines.Many years ago when I got hooked by motorcycles I started tohear about the two and four stroke engines… It seemed therewere and there still are strong opinions in pro and con ofeach of the engine types.As Internet wasn’t available, and as I was worried about otheraspects or motorcycle riding in that time, I left that questionunanswered for a long time.If this is your case or if your are interested about these twokind of internal combustion engines, in the next few lines Ihope to give you a few fast…
