Question

What is a stoke mean for a motor?

Answer 1

like 2 or 4 stroke, 2 stroke is mix gas and oil, 4 stroke is gas and oil seperate and mixes automatically. 2 stroke is faster, 4 stroke is better built

Answer 2

Actually, 2 strokes have a lot less parts. You have to mix the oil with the gas for lubricating the motor. There is no oil in the crankcase unlike a 4 stroke. 4 strokes use straight gas. The oil in the crankcase lubricates the motor and doesn't mix with the gas. 4 strokes have valves and timing. and can be just as fast as two strokes. But they also weigh more.

Answer 3

In the good ol days STOKE was the act of feeding wood or coal to the boilers.  originally by hand, now by automatic stokers.

Answer 4

2 things

first one is Stroke x Bore   bore is the diameter of the cylinder and stroke is how far it moves in that cylinder

also it can define the type of engine, 4 stroke for example makes 2 full crank rotations for each cycle, one up, one down, one up, then back down.... 4 strokes.

1-intake, piston goes down, "sucks" fuel in

2-compression, valves close, piston moves up compressing air "squeeze"

3-power, spark plug ignites fuel/air mix "bang" and pushes piston down

4-exhaust, valve opens and piston moves back up pushing exhaust out "blow"

suck squeeze bang blow

Answer 5

it is the amount of travel the piston goes up or down in a cylinder.

Answer 6

You have received some good answers about 2 versus 4 stroke engines. 2 stroke engins will be louder and will polute much more than 4 stroke, like your car engine is. Some states are outlawing 2 stroke engines in the future.

Answer 7

if your talking about a two stroke engine,its the number of times the piston goes up and down before the engine fires up on a compression stroke.(or power stroke)
