The two-stroke engine is widely used in both motorcycle racing and kart racing, and in very large numbers in model car, boat and aircraft competition. The mechanical simplicity of the two-stroke engine gives it tremendous appeal, and makes it a tempting target for tuning operations, but the key to successful design, development and modification is knowledge of the engine s operating principles. This in-depth technical study of two-stroke theory and practice is intended to help would-be engine tuners to better understand the engine and the processes taking place within it, and thereby to obtain improved performance.

The High-Performance Two-Stroke EngineApril 18, 2008 John Rounds(Port Angeles, Wa) Good read - technical but not necessary to understand all the theory to appreciate the book. Most references are 15 to 20 years old. I was disappointed in no direct application to an engine.
