2-stroke Karting Engines

2-stroke Karting Engines

(OP)
Hello,

What is a good book on piston port, 2 stroke engines?  I'm asking as I am starting to kart race a yamaha kt-100 next year after running nhra stock eliminator for 10 years.  My 4-stroke engine knowledge is good, but zero experience with 2-stroke.

Thanks,

Chris

RE: 2-stroke Karting Engines

Start with an old book, "Two Stroke Tuners Handbook" or something like that by the late, great Gordon Jennings.  Out of print, but you may be able to find a copy somewhere.  There are probably some newer books that pick up where this one left off.

RE: 2-stroke Karting Engines

I'll second that.  I got a copy back when it was first published, using it to port and build some pipes for my 1971 Kawasaki H1.  I was very pleased with the result.

Just a couple years ago, I re-read my copy and was still impressed with how much pertinent content it contains.
