    I had a similar problem with top end power on my Mum's 50, It was not revving out when she went to get the weekly shop, I tried everything, new piston ,re jetting, saved up for an expansion chamber, I even filed the exhaust port to move the power band up the rev range and trimmed the rotary valve to get more fuel in. Turned out she was pulling the choke out to hang her shopping bag on, Went like a scolded cat once I worked that out.🤪

    When I was Kart racing, I had a similar ignition system. There were companies that made retarder boxes you could add on, to allow higher initial ignition, which then backed off timing by so many degrees per revs. (Amount was determined by what was required and the boxes were tuned as appropriate). I would think something like this with a variable exhaust length would go a bog way to improving power band.

    An exhaust valve which could change the exhaust timing (power valve) would be able to help your pipe wave timing issue. More duration would allow for a high rpm timing with the same pipe, shorter duration for low rpm. At least using the port timing formulas for pipe effective length from Blair’s design of two stroke engines.

    • @marcelpursche5339
      @marcelpursche5339 Před 2 lety +4

      I think he intents to use this engine only at full throttle and resonance rpm. Kind of like a stationary engine that would always run at a constant rpm. The clutch and CVT will ensure that the engine rpm(under load) can be the same no matter the speed of the vehicle. So a very narrow power band isn't an issue.

    • @brannonhudson6868
      @brannonhudson6868 Před 2 lety +2

      @@marcelpursche5339 I think that there’s very clearly an issue with the high crankcase volume not having enough scavenging at below peak rpm, so he cannot spool the engine up under load properly. Only real solutions for more scavenging (beyond piston/port) on a two stroke is pipe induced scavenging or forced induction. If he could have a clutch that kicked in at higher RPM this would clearly help it reach the rpm, but the load from the dyno might still bring it down enough for problems. Perhaps upgrading the ECU to programmable would help get the spark timing to help with piston/port scavenging as well. Complete engine management across RPM and Load is key, and is the difference in a good engine and a good-enough engine.

He used infected plastic around the crankshaft to fill up the empty space in the crankcase. The result was more torque at lower rpms and harder pulling through mid-range and top end . Me being 190lbs was able to compete with the Suzuki factory rider who was 135lbs . It made a big difference in being able to finish consistently in the top 3 of a mx series.

    From my experience wave action tuning NA 4 stroke engines, the Intake tuning is always a lot more powerful than the exhaust. You can have crazy gains with intake runners (+20% to +30% BMEP) that are tuned appropriately. But I guess it works differently with 2 strokes or the RPM is so high that that short runner on the carb is sufficient enough? Maybe that is worth looking into?

    evry time i see one of your new videos i get motivated to build my own 2 stroke projekt.

    Jet ski's actually fill the exhaust pipe partially with water at full rev. to make a smaller expansion chamber. food for thought. Love the video man!

    Love your videos and your clear and concise explanations of the theory and your process. I kept hearing "moving waves the wind has left you and you are still in commotion..." by Focus as I watched the wave in that bottle going back and fourth. It shall ever fourth remind me of 2 stroke stuffing. That is a win my friend.

    I used to fly R/C model planes and experimented with tuned pipes. I found several things. When the engine got "on the pipe", that is, the pipe's tuned or resonant frequency, the mixture leaned out quite a bit and the engine would fall off the pipe. I rigged up another servo to a piece of bellcrank arm I force fit on the carb's needle valve. I could run lean enough that the engine would get up to the tuned RPM and lock on to that speed. I would then shove the tab for that servo to richen the mixture, and it would run well. If I left the mixture at that point and throttled back the engine would go very rich and spit and sputter. I would have to lean the mixture to get it back up on the pipe, which was done by a slight dive to pick up RPM. Another thing I discovered, it was beneficial to increase the height of the sleeve's exhaust port in relation to the intake ports. That gave more time for the intake ports to close, and the back-pressure wave of the pipe to cram more fresh mixture back into the cylinder before being closed off by the piston. The first pipe I made was silver soldered together from brass tubing for the straight tubes and the conical sections cut from the top and bottom of a ham can... hahaha! But it worked well. Later I bought pipes from OPS.

      dirtbike magazine in the 90's had a big article called pipe dreams. it was the best broke down explanation of the workings of the pipe and stinger i had seen so far. the bottle is also great. u get to see the water and hear the explanation. someone somewhere might have the pipe dreams article from dirtbike magazine.

    I've been riding bikes for years. Both 2 stroke and 4 stroke. And never fully got my head around why the 2t pipe is that shape. Also I'm in my 3rd year of mechanical engineering.
    This video has explained 2t engines perfectly. Thank you

  • @butziporsche8646
    @butziporsche8646 Před 2 lety

    When I was a kid, we used "rabbit ear" crankcase stuffers to decrease the crankcase volume to increase the scavenge pressure (McCulloch, Westbend, Power Products, etc.) This gave more power. However, we were using straight pipes or megaphones back then. When transitioning to expansion chambers (and we would gas weld or braze together our chambers in shop class) we got away from reducing crankcase volume.

  • @lanceneuman9528
    @lanceneuman9528 Před 2 lety +1

    Good messaging. If the stinger pipe is placed within and centered in the expanded zone of the pipe you will have a much stronger resonance without problems of exit restriction due to this placement. I read an article about this during the 1970'2 and decided to try this on my already strong 125cc Sachs. However, I also added an approved Chrisman spark arrestor on the end of the stinger which likely didn't enhance the power itself. Stronger throughout and especially on top as recorded by my "butt dyno" and multiple drag races with my buddy's 250 yammie. Try it sometime on one of your known engines. This is not crap.

    Had on my moped back in the days.
    but didn't relay understand how it worked, just that it was better with it.

    That explanation gave me a good visual of how pipes work on two strokes I now have a much better understanding on why the pipes are made that way

    Don't worry about confusing people. As long as it makes sense to you and it does still make sense to any 2 stroke fanatic that knows about expansion pipes.
    I had a pipe on my nitro RC car that had a plunger inside. The plunger would extend the expansion chamber and at the same time opens up a second exhaust tip.
    I don't know how efficient it was but I did notice it was slightly quicker at top end.

    We could all make the comments section so much more enjoyable, if we would take the time to read what is posted before commenting. If someone else has already posted an identical thought, just give theirs a thumbs up. That way we don't have to read the same suggestion 50 times. I love reading everyone's comments, but our collective time is valuable.
