SECTION ncOPERATION AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONSc2.1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATIONa. The <strong>CCW</strong> two stroke engine is designed to complete in onerevolution, or two strokes of the piston, the completecycle of (a) fuel/air induction, (b) compression of the fuelmixture, (c) combustion, (d) exhaust of the burned gases.b. The construction of the engine requires a sealed crankcaseand a cylinder having four carefully positioned ports asfollows:1. Carburetor inlet for induction of the fuel/air mixture.2. Two transfer ducts leading to transfer ports fortransferring the mixture from the crankcase to thecombustion chamber.3. Exhaust port for exhausting the burned gases.c. The first stroke of the piston, from bottom dead center(B.D.C.) to the top dead center (T.D.C.), has twofunctions:1. To induce a mixture of fuel and air into the crankcasevia the carburetor.2. To compress the charge in the combustion chamber.d. The second stroke of the piston, from T.D.C. to B.D.C.,also has two functions:1. To uncover the exhaust ports and allow the burnedgases to escape.2. To compress the fuel mixture in the crankcase andtransfer it through the two transfer ducts to thecombustion chamber.2.2 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION (see Figure 2-1)a. As the crankshaft rotates, the piston moves from theB.D.C. position, thus creating a depression (or partialvacuum) in the crankcase. When the piston uncovers theFig. 2-1c1\1COMPRESSIONANDINDUCTANCECOMBUSTIONOFCHARGE2-1FUEL TRANSFERLOOP SCAVENGE


carburetor inlet port, fuel/air mixture, metered by thecarburetor, is admitted to the crankcase.b. Continued upward movement of the piston will compressthe charge in the combustion chamber until, at a pointnear T.D.C., the spark from the spark plug will ignite themixture.c. Resultant expansion of the ignited fuel will push thepiston toward· B.D.C. Moving downward, the piston firstuncovers the exhaust port and allows the hot gases, stillunder considerable pressure, to escape to atmospherethrough the exhaust system.d. Continuing downward, the piston will now uncover thetwo transfer ports and close the carburetor inlet port. Themixture in the crankcase and lower part of the cylinder isdisplaced by the piston and conducted through thetransfer ducts to the combustion chamber above thepiston. The fresh charge, entering through the twotransfer ports will form a loop (see Figure 2-10), thusscavenging the cylinder of burned gases.e. The cycle will repeat continuously as from paragraph (a)until the engine ignition is switched off.2.3 IGNITION SYSTEM2.3.1 GeneralThe ignition system used with model <strong>CCW</strong> <strong>340</strong> and <strong>CCW</strong> 400engines is basically the same as systems used with mostconventio nal two stroke engines. It consists of a low tensionmagneto, two high tension ignition coils, two ignition sparkplugs, spark plug (high tension) lead wires, an ignition switchand the required electrical wiring.Modei<strong>340</strong>S engines differ from <strong>340</strong>E, <strong>340</strong>G, and 400 enginesin magneto design. Magnetos in use on the model <strong>340</strong>Sincorporate only one low tension generating coil. All othermodels covered in this manual use two low tension generatingcoils. Refer to paragraphs 2.4.2.1 and 2.4.2.2.2.3.2 DescriptionThe magneto assembly is mounted to the engine crankcase atthe flywheel end. It functions to generate low tensionimpulses in the primaries of the ignition coils. Two sets ofcontact breaker points, one set for each cyl inder, are installedin the magneto. 0 uring engine operation, a cam, mounted onthe flywheel, opens and closes the breaker points in sequence.A condenser, wired in parallel across each set of breakerpoints, protects the points from damage caused by selfinductedelectrical surges in the primary coil. Lighting andbattery charging coils (see paragraph 2.5) are mounted on themagneto coil plate. The coils produce the electrical powerrequired to operate a 12-volt lighting system and to chargethe battery used with electric started engines.Low tension (primary wires) leading from the magneto areencased in a protective cover and routed through a grommetlocated in the fan cover case, to the ignition coupler on thefan cover.2.3.2.1 Sawafuji Ignition (See Figure 2-2)The magneto used with model <strong>340</strong>S (SAWAFUJI) ignitionsystems has one low tension generating coil. Each end ofthecoil is connected in parallel to the primary of one ignition coiland one breaker point set. The condensers and breaker point2-2sets are grounded to the magneto frame through a commonground.2.3.2.2 Kokusan Ignition (See Figure 2-3)The magneto used with model <strong>340</strong>E, <strong>340</strong>G and 400( KO KUSAN) ignition systems has two low tension generatingcoils. One end of each coil is grounded to the magneto frame.The other end of the coil connects in parallel to the breakerpoint set and the primary of one ignition coil.2.3.3 Operation (See Figures 2-2 and 2-3)The ignition switch is connected in parallel with the primarywindings of the ignition coils. Operation of the ignitionswitch to the "RUN" position, opens a circuit between thewindings and allows the contact breaker points to control theignition circuit.The flywheel incorporates four permanent magnets and abreaker point cam and auto advance mechanism. In operation,as the flywheel rotates, an electrical current is generatedin the low tension generating coil. The rotating breaker pointcam activates the breaker points, opening and closing them inaccordance with a timed ignition sequence. (Refer to SectionV, paragraph 5.4.4). Closing the points causes the buildup ofa magnetic field in the ignition coils. Opening the pointscauses a very rapid collapse of the field, thus inducing a highvoltage current in the secondary windings of the coil. Hightension spark plug wires conduct the high voltage current tothe spark plugs.Self induced high voltage current in the primaries is momentarilystored in the condensers to prevent arcing across thepoint contacts. When the contacts next close, the condenserswill discharge back to the ignition coils, thus assisting in thebuildup of the magnetic field in the coils.The ignition circuit will continue to function until theignition switch is turned to the "0 FF" position which willmaintain a circuit and prevent ignition.2.4 DETONATION:-The internal combustion engine is designed to induce acombustable mixture of gasoline and air into the cylinderwhich is subsequently ignited by a spark plug, and theresultant gas expansion utilized to produce the power stroke.Some considerable care is taken in the design to ensure thatthe combustion takes place at a controlled rate, but undercertain conditions the charge will burn at a highly excessivE)rate, producing abnormal gas temperatures and pressures inthe cylinder. This condition is called detonation and may,therefore, be defined as the rapid and uncontrolled burningof the chargewh ich commences at the point of ignition by thespark plug and is completed prematurely over a very shortmovement of the piston.2.4.1 The causes of detonation are many and varied, but allhave the common effect of overheating the charge towardsthe spontaneous combustion temperature of the fuel. Consequently,when the charge is further heated by compressionand ignited by the spark, the flame spread rate is very rapidindeed, resulting in the formation of the high pressure wavewhich impinges on the combustion chamber surfaces tocreate the sound of detonation of "pinging" which is sofamiliar to many people.2.4.2 It cannot be emphasized too strongly that if detonationis allowed to persist, serious damage may result to theJ

engine. Overheating of the engine can cause distortion of thecylinder and cylinder head, seizing and burning of pistons,breaking of cylinder flanges and studs etc.,In addition, prolonged detonation may lead into pre-ignitionof the charge and even more serious consequences to theengine. It is essential, therefore, that detonation should berecognized and the cause eliminated as soon as possib1e.2.4.3 Most of the common causes of detonation can beeasily rectified: -1. High compression pressures. (<strong>CCW</strong> <strong>340</strong>/400 = 175-180PSI. cold at 500 RPM .)2. Incandescent points in the combustion chamber due toash deposits.3. Wrong type of spark plugs. (See Table 1-1)4. Spark plug overheated due to seat washer being worn ormissing.5. Incorrect ignition timing. (See section 5.4.4)6. Weak carburetor settings.7. High ambient temperatures. (Over 950 F.)8. Partially choked exhaust system causing high back pressure.2.4.4 PRE-IGNITION may be defined as the prematureburning of the charge due to spontaneous combustion, andbefore the specified timed ignition point by the spark plug.The resultant gas expansion, acting on the rising piston, generatesextreme temperatures and pressures in the combustionchamber and frequently results in broken pistons, bentconnecting rods, twisted or bent crankshaft and damagedbearings.Pre-ignition is usually caused by overheating and can bereadily identified by the very heavy knocking which is due togas expansion on the rising piston. It is usually preceded bydetonation, but certain conditions such as an under-sized orchoked exhaust system, will cause the engine to go straightinto pre-ignition without detonation. It is imperative that theengine should be stopped at once by closing off the air supplyto the carburetor. It will be apparent that the engine cannotbe stopped by switching off the ignition.2.5 LIGHTING SYSTEM2.5.1 Vehicle lighting is provided by lighting and batterycharging coils in the magneto, and the necessary wiring andlight switches required to operate the system.2.5.2 Operation2.5.2.1 Engines Previous to Serial Numbers:-Model <strong>340</strong>-2903614, Model 400-2809570.

This method is conside red the most co nvenientmeans of determining piston position in respect to true topdead center.Time the engine as follows:a. Remove recoil starter, starter cup and fan belt pulley;remove window plate (if installed).b. Remove spark plugs; disconnect ignition at coupler.c. Install a su itable dial indicator into No. 1 cylinder sparkplug hole.d. Rotate flywheel to locate No.1 piston position at true topdead center. True top dead center is that point on theindicator scale where the pointer begins to reversedirection of motion. Zero the dial indicator at true T.D.C.e. Refer to figure 5-13. Adjust No. 1 cylinder breaker pointgap to 0.014 inch. This point set has red ignition wiring.Connect one lead of a timing light to the red wire atignition coupler and the other lead to ground.f. Rotate flywheel until pointer of dial indicator reaches0.015 inch before true top dead center. At this instant thetiming light shou ld go out to indicate breaker points juststarting to open .If necessary, adjust ignition co il plate to the right or to theleft until the light goes out. Secure ignition coil plate inthis position; recheck piston travel to verify timingaccuracy.NOTE: If coil plate cannot be adjusted enough to accuratelyset No. 1 cylinder timing, recheck breaker po int gap.Gap may be re-adjusted to 0.014±.002 inch to obtaindesired timing sequence. Breaker point gap mustremain within specified tolerance.g. Remove dial indicator and install it into No.2 cylind erspark plug hole. Disconnect timing light from ignitioncoupler.h.

Thereference marks on the flywheel include a 'T' wh ichindicates piston position at top dead center when alignedwith the zero reference line on fan cover, and 50, so and 100reference lines in advance of top dead center. One set ofreference lines is 1800 opposed to the other set. If using thealternate method, time the engine as follows:a. Remove spark plugs; disconnect ignition at coupler.b. Remove recoil starter, starter cup and fan belt pu ll ey.Remove window plate (if installed).c. Refer to Figure 5-13.Adjust No. 1 cylinder contact breaker point gap to 0.014inch. This point set has white ignition wiring. Connect onelead of a timing light having a self contained battery, orsuitable instrument to the wh ite wire at coupler and theother lead to ground.d. Rotate flywheel until No. 1 piston is approach ing topdead center and the nearest SD reference line is al ignedwith the zero reference I ine on the fan cover.
