As the engine finishes the down stroke, the engine begins its up stroke. The piston moves up the
cylinder wall, and this will shut off the intake port first and then the exhaust port last. The piston is now
compressing the air fuel mixture in the cylinder chamber. During the up stroke, the piston creates a
vacuum in the crankcase area, and this causes the reed valve to open, and pulls the new air fuel
mixture into the engine crankcase area.
The 2 Stroke engine is now back at the beginning of its engine cycle where the piston is at TDC. The
spark plug has just fired, and the engine is just beginning its down stroke again.
