Abstract

The present invention is a stratified scavenging two-cycle engine which can make exhaust gas cleaner. For this purpose, in a stratified scavenging two-cycle engine, which includes a scavenging flow passage (3) to connect a cylinder chamber (4a) and a crank chamber (1a) and an air flow passage (2) connected to the scavenging flow passage (3), is constructed so that pressure reduction in a crank chamber (1a) following an upward movement of a piston (7) permits air to be drawn into the scavenging flow passage (3) from the air flow passage (2) and a scavenging port (3a), at which the scavenging flow passage (3) is opened to a cylinder inner surface (4b), is not fully obstructed by a side wall of the piston (7) and communicates with the crank chamber (1a).
