Abstract

A two-stroke engine including a pair of intake valves which are symmetrically arranged with respect to a symmetrical plane including the axis of the cylinder. A masking wall is provided for each intake valve to mask the valve opening between the valve seat and the peripheral portion of the intake valve, which is located on the exhaust valve side, for the entire time for which the intake valve is open. These masking walls are also symmetrically arranged with respect to the symmetrical plane.
