Engine Parts

The engine is the most important part of a vehicle. It contains the parts which are mechanized to start the engine, convert the fuel energy to kinetic energy and transmit the power for the proper running of the vehicle.

• Camshaft: Camshaft is a shaft which is equipped with cams that turns in time with the crankshaft. It opens and holds the valves for a specific period of time. It also controls the air/fuel mixture entering and exiting the cylinder.
• Crankshaft: The Crankshaft translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation. It converts the up and down motion of the piston through a connecting rod into rotational motion.
• Engine Valves: Valves injects fuel and allows combustion to get out of the cylinder.
• Kick Lever / Starter: The kick lever is a shaft which has to be 'kicked' to start the engine.
• Piston: The piston is a circular forging which moves up and down inside the bore of a cylinder of an engine for the purpose of transmitting power. The piston converts the potential energy of the fuel into kinetic energy.
• Seal System: Sealing system of a two-wheeler is the sealing arrangement inside its engine.
• Throttle Cable: Throttle cable is the wire which attaches the throttle to the carburetor. It helps the operator to be in control of the speed of the engine.
