Actually several reasons: 1. Because it doesn't have an oil sump for the crankcase; the crankshaft and connecting rod are lubricated by incoming fuel, which must be mixed with oil. This is part of the basic two-cycle setup, which if not understood would be a question of its own. 2. Because the fuel is supplied to the engine via a flexible drop-tube in the gas tank; the intake end always falls to the "bottom" of the tank, no matter which way it's held. 3. Because the two-cycle engine has no carburetor, thus no float which would otherwise prevent off-axis operation.

How marine engine works?
The "engine" part of a marine engine is the same as any other kind of engine. The difference is the cooling system, and there are two kinds: raw water and enclosed. Raw water systems are used on outboards and small pleasure boats with inboard engines. The engine's water pump sucks water out of the lake, runs it through the engine and puts it back in the lake. This works with a minimum of parts, until you get into boats that run in salt water. Would YOU want ocean water running through your engine? Neither would yachtsmen with expensive diesels. The enclosed cooling system uses a heat exchanger. There's a tank on the boat with a radiator in it. The engine pumps coolant through the radiator just like it would the radiator on a car. A second pump pulls water out of the ocean and feeds it into the tank to cool the radiator. There's more maintenance in this system (you have to be sure saltwater scale isn't blocking the heat exchanger and you've got more water pumps to deal with) but it is more reliable than feeding raw water into the engine.
What is an piston cooling oil nozzle?
It is a little nozzle which is pointed towards the beneath of a piston in an internal combustion engine. It is linked to the pressurised side of the oil system, so cool oil coming directly from the oilcooler will spray onto the piston and cooling it instead of just cooling around the cylinder. This enables the engine to run a much more efficient combustion without the chance of melting a piston or overheating the engine which could lead to engine failure.

What cause the check engine light to come on on my 1995 Toyota coroiia before starting engine after starting engine it go off?
The "bulb check" feature of most cars work by all coming on momentarily as the key is turned to the "on" position before turning further to the start position, then go out if there are no problems after engine is started and running. Also on the "Check Engine" light will illuminate any time the key is in the "run" position but the engine is not running.
