Abstract
A two-stroke internal combustion engine that emits exhaust gases with reduced amounts of noxious components, such as HC, and has less blow-by of unburned air-fuel mixture has a crank chamber located below a piston and a combustion actuating chamber located above the piston. Either one pair or two pairs of scavenging passageways communicate the crank chamber with the combustion actuating chamber, the scavenging passageways of the one pair or of each of the two pairs being disposed symmetrically with respect to a plane that bisects an exhaust port so as to form a Schnürle-type scavenging system. Each scavenging passageway is throttled at a location proximate to a scavenging inlet port thereof.
