engine, two stroke petrol
Two stroke petrol engine. A two cylinder, 2-stroke petrol engine of unusual design, where the petrol/air mixture is fed to each working cylinder. Combustion takes place in a 'bulb' chamber at the head of each cylinder which allows much smoother and more regular idling than is normal with a small two-cycle engine. This made it very suitable for slow speed fishing operations as it would idle smooth down to 120 rpm.
