Best Answer

With a four stroke engine the ignition timing is set at towards the end of the compression stroke. A novice make make the mistake of setting it at the end of the exhaust stroke.

So yes it is possible. However the engine will not run.

Depends on if this engine is a 2 stroke, 4 stroke, or rotary engine. I assume you are referring to a 4 stroke as found in the vast majority of automobiles built today. The answer is, At the top of the compression stroke. The 4 strokes of a 4 cycle engine are:# intake/induction stroke # compression stroke # power stroke # exhaust strokeDepends on if this engine is a 2 stroke, 4 stroke, or rotary engine.

Why do 2 cycle engines run hotter than 4 cycle?

A two stroke engine fires (an explosion in the motor) twice as often as a four stroke. A stroke is every time the piston in the engine changes direction. (From up to down) A two stroke engine fires every time the piston comes to the top where a four stroke will fire every other time. So if two single cylinder engines are running at 1,000 RPMs a two stroke will fire 1,000 times a four stroke will fire only 500 times. With twice as many explosions it will be hotter.


What is Two stroke engine?

In my point of view two stroke engine is the best engine ,because in two stroke engine there are only two stages or two stroke .In which one stage complete the two process frist is suction & second one is compression ,in these two process completes in one stage. The best advantage of this engine is the in every cycle there is a power stroke due to which the engine performance is very good . But the biggest disadvantage is the fuel consumption . Which after some time reduced by the resarcheres.


Why 2 stroke engine want mixture of petrol and oil?

because, unlike a 4 stroke it doesn't have engine oil lubricating all the engine components, so in the fuel mixture there is oil mixed in to do this job, it is not as effective as the 4 stroke idea though.... which is usually why 2 stroke engines wear and tear more of time .
