Technical Aspects of 2-Stroke Cycle Snowmobile Engines

This paper describes aspects of the Kawasaki two-stroke engines for snowmobiles. Generally speaking, in order to obtain good results in developing engines for snowmobiles, it is important not only to investigate the engines themselves, but also to match their performance with those of the snowmobile, including their power-transmitting system.

Kawasaki has developed an ignition system for firing two plugs per cylinder, which prevents abnormal combustion and results in higher performance.
