Two-Stroke Tuner's Handbook

Feed Your Brain!!
Anyone who is serious about two-stroke tuning read or came across Gordon Jennings "Two-Stroke Tuner's Handbook".  Although it was originally published in 1973, a lot of the information still pertains today.  It's a extremely technical book.  I felt like I was reading my old college engineering books!!  If you didn't get a chance to read it or a lot of the stuff is just flying over your head as did mines, some section I thought worth reading were:
  • Squish Bands
  • Expansion Chamber
  • Port Timing
  • Cylinder Porting (Gorr) p.90
  • Reed Valves
  • Intake Port Shape
  • Cylinder Scavenging
  • Port-Edge Chamfers
  • Subtleties p.121
  • Carburetion, Ignition
