Long out of print, but now finally available again: the classic on two-stroke engine technology by technology guru Helmut Werner Bönsch, one of the most distinguished technicians and technical writers of the past decades
.
In this standard work, first published in 1980, Bönsch deals with the history and technology of those high-performance engines that seem so simple in design but are so difficult to understand. His book leaves no questions unanswered, explains the operating principles and technical fundamentals, deals with the various purging and control methods, the gas dynamics and the various designs. The various advantages and disadvantages of the engine concept, which is still current today, are also presented in this carefully illustrated technical manual.
