Product Description
Undoubtedly, the virtue which has most contributed to the widespread use and varied application of the two-stroke engine is its mechanical simplicity. Tuning expert A. Graham Bell takes readers through the various modifications that can be made to a two-stroke and its components in order to derive maximum useable power and mechanical reliability. Both the latest advances in two-stroke tuning and old standbys are covered for all areas of operation, from ignition, carburetion, cylinders, and valves through exhaust systems and dyno tuning. Updates to this expanded edition include new photography, line diagrams and explanatory charts.

4 out of 5 stars Two-stroke guide   December 27, 2008
Edward J. Seaton (Chandler, Arizona)
This book was everything I ever wanted to know and more about two-strokes. Must have for anyone that wants to own anything powered by one of those very tempermental little engines.


5 out of 5 stars A Definitive Work   November 4, 2008

Two-Stroke Performance Tuning

A comprehensive manual on two-stroke tuning. A must have for the enthusiast and DIY maniac alike.

Supplement this with plenty of online material concerning expansion chamber design and you can build your very own stink-wheeling road-rocket.

A great book.



4 out of 5 stars 2 Stroke Info Is Great   August 16, 2008
G. Brown (Spotswood, NJ United States)
It's the 21st. century and two stoke engines are a thing of the past. In the near future they will be OUTLAWED!

But until then. . .
This is an outstanding book for information on 2 stroke air cooled engines. There are plenty of diagrams, charts, and B&W photos that help to explain the text. I am very happy that I got this book for my tech-library before it went out of print. Lots of good tips for people trying to get an extra 10 or 20 MPH out of their old moped or scooter!



5 out of 5 stars 2 stroke Bible.   August 8, 2008
W. Weideman
This is the best book you can buy on 2 stroke tuning. I have read it 3 times to try and assimilate all the information. If you want to modify a 2 stroke engine, this is the best starting point you can get. Well written, easy to follow and very practical. I have many other tuning books, but this is by far the best. Has up to date information and well worth the money.



5 out of 5 stars 2-stroke Performance Tuning   May 5, 2008
Dennis Fortier (Placitas, NM United States)
I just finished reading the complete book and was amazed at the level of detail and mathematical formulas provided to caluclate just about every aspect of 2-stroke performance.

The book is written more for the racer than the home tinkerer but there are many hints and techniques provided that will help the hobbist to increase reliability and performance of any 2-stroke motor.

I strongly recommend adding this book to your knowledge base.
