The engine includes a cylinder having an exhaust port with an axial extent along the axis of the cylinder structure. An exhaust passage having a resonance port extends from the exhaust port to exhaust the engine. A resonance chamber extends from the resonance port and communicates with the exhaust passage through the resonance port.

Abstract: To provide a 2-stroke cycle internal combustion engine for a vehicle in which less blowoff of a gas mixture occurs in a combustion chamber, fuel consumption is low and high exhaust gas purifying performance is attained. The cylinder of the internal combustion engine is slightly inclined toward the forward side of the vehicle body from its upright position. The high pressure chamber and the communication passages are arranged forwardly toward the vehicle body from the cylinder. Openings of the communicating passages toward the combustion chamber are arranged, from the scavenging port, near the combustion chamber. The intake control valve rotated from the crank chamber near the openings of the communicating passages toward the combustion chamber is arranged near the openings of the communicating passages, and the exhaust pipe and the exhaust expansion chamber communicating with the exhaust gas passage of the internal combustion engine are arranged at a rear part of the vehicle body from the cylinder.

Abstract: An exhaust passage for connecting to an exhaust port of a cylinder is provided. The exhaust passage includes a first path extending in a direction generally orthogonal to the central axis of the exhaust port. A second path connects the first path and the exhaust poil and a control valve is provided in the first path. The rotational axis of the exhaust control valve is generally parallel to the direction in which the first path extends. The surface area of an opening connecting the first path and the second path is variable as the exhaust control valve rotates, so as to carry out controlled combustion and exhaust timing. This makes it unnecessary to provide a hollow section for housing an exhaust control valve and bearing at a position close to the exhaust. It is also possible to reduce the size of a cylinder block and to realize smooth flow of exhaust gases by making the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust passage smooth.

Abstract: A two-cycle internal combustion engine implements low-pressure, cylinder wall fuel injection and uses a notched exhaust port or the like to control cylinder pressure rise during exhaust port closure. An electronic control unit controls the operation of fuel injection through the cylinder wall. Fuel injection terminates before the piston closes the exhaust port as the piston travels from bottom dead center to top dead center. The exhaust port notch tempers pressure gradients and pressure fluctuations in the piston cavity that can otherwise occur before the exhaust port closes and can be detrimental to the control of low-pressure fuel injectors. The exhaust port notch allows better fuel injection control, especially at idle or low speeds, without requiring the port positions and configurations to be modified which could compromise engine performance at medium or high speeds.
