On a 2 stroke engine, each cylinder fires every time the piston comes up. On a 4 stroke engine, the cylinder only fires every OTHER time the piston comes up.
4 stroke engines have 4 strokes: Intake, compression, power, and exhaust.
2 stroke engines complete these cycles in only two strokes of the piston by use of ports in the cylinder walls.
2 stroke engines usually produce more power for a given weight/size. But, in gasoline engines, 2 stroke engines are typically less efficient (use more gas) and have much higher pollution levels (note: some newer "direct injection" 2 stroke engines do much better on pollution levels than the typical 2 stroke)

How do you set timing on 2 stroke 2 cylinder engines?
Hi, The answer for your question would be, the timing will set based on crank angle position only as it is done in 4 stroke engine. It differs for a TBI based engine and GDI based engine.
What are the names of the strokes of a 4 stroke engine?
intakecompressionpower or expansionexhaust
How do you change four stroke engine into two stroke engine?
Nothing is impossible given enough money, determination and time to do it but ... I have to say that trying to do this idea is about as close as it comes! Two stroke relies on drawing the fuel mixture into the crankcase during the piston compression stroke to then pressurize it during the power stroke and thereby have pressure to force it up into the cylinder when the piston has traveled far enough to expose the cylinder intake port. The greatest challenge here is that the volume of a 2 stroke crankcase is specifically designed to be as small as possible with the piston at dead bottom so that all of the mixture is pushed up into the cylinder. A 4 stroke crankcase has no such constraint and is an enormous in comparison so it's volume has to be greatly reduced. *Then there's 4 stroke crankcase oil - can't be there anymore. *Then there's cylinder intake and exhaust ports to add plus how piston rings have ride past them - good luck on that modification! *Gonna need a rotary driven intake valve or a reed type check valve between the carburetor and crankcase * Throw out 4 stroke's valves, cam shaft, cam drive, push rods etc. *plug up 4 stroke valve ports in the head or make a new one with no ports. (Why did I waste my time answering this?)
How do you fix a 4 stroke dirt bike engine?
It would depend on what was wrong with the engine. More details are required.
What is the number of firing per revolution of a 4 stroke 8 cylinder engine?
Four cylinders fire for each revolution of the engine.
Which oil to use for a Briggs and stratton engine 4 cycle vs 2 cycle oil?
4 cycle! Automobiles are 4 stroke engines. chain saws snowmobiles and leaf blowers are examples of 2 stroke engines. If engine has an oil pan, or oil filter, it is a 4 stroke. if it does not have an oil pan, it is 2 stroke. Briggs and Stratton are 4 stroke motors.
