Giorgio Nada Editore High Performance Two-Stroke Engines

This is one of the best two cycle books on go, kart motors, single cylinder that I’ve ever found, good pictures easy to read even for me single cylinder two cycle. You better have this book because if you don’t? I will pass you on the track.!!!!!!!

no high performance input in that book. should be called 2 stroke engine explain for noob

A great summary of the modern 2 stroke engine and its development since the 1970s. It covers all the components, with a couple of gaps of niche developments. Exhaust resonator chambers and their inlet equivalents barely get a mention. Also water injection that Honda used in 500cc GPs the 1990s and common crankcase designs like the SwissAuto aren't covered. However, they are minor complaints and overall the book is excellent. Lots of great photos and diagrams. If you know the basics, you can skip the first couple of chapters as it starts at a basic level.
