5 out of 5 stars A Definitive Work   November 4, 2008
Gerard Hanrahan (Ireland)
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!

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.

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.
