Most automobile engines are __________.

  1. two-stroke cycle engines
  2. three-stroke cycle engines
  3. four-stroke cycle engines
  4. six-stroke cycle engines

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Lawn mowers and outboard engines are two-cycle. They are used wherever horsepower is needed in a lightweight package. They run very fast in order to produce power.

One exception is the rotary or Wankel engine, which uses a rotary design to convert pressure into rotating motion instead of using reciprocating pistons.

  1. power stroke
  2. exhaust stroke
