Basic info about fuel engines

[meph]

Hello everybody,

please, can somebody recommend me some good literature/website or another source where i can get some basic informations about fuel engines? Maybe somethink useful for design my own, very simple motor? I know, that it´s not easy etc, but I want only try it and what´s most important, get some knowledge.

I´m sorry about my english, I´m Czech.

Thanks in advance

What is your level of knowledge right now?

Have you taken apart an old lawnmower engine and figured out what makes it work? That, or something similar, is the starting point for most of us ...

explains a lot, but nothing beats opening the tool box and using what is inside.

I would say my level of knowledge is wery low..i´ll check this site..thanks a lot..no, i have never opened lawn-mover..i know the basic principals of the engine..I need somethink like look on the drawing and say "Hey, what this stuff do" etc..I know, that´s almost impossible to gain complete drawings of any motor..but i´m talking about some simple one..again sorry for my english..it must be very hard and confusing to read it and understand.
