Abstract

The invention refers to a cylinder (1) for a two-stroke, crankcase scavenged combustion engine, comprising an inlet pipe (10) for air/fuel mixture, at least one transfer port (17), and at least one outer connecting port (18) intended to be connected to a connecting duct (not shown), whereby the outer connecting port (18) is arranged so that it can be connected to the mentioned transfer port (17) via a piston ported air passage.The outer connecting port (18) is located below the inlet pipe (10) and at least one wall passage (14) extends from the mentioned outer connecting port (18), obliquely upwards through the cylinder wall, to at least one connecting port (16).This design enables the cooling air to flow freely around the cylinder above the inlet pipe (10), which improves the cooling of the cylinder.
