Abstract
Abstract An internal combustion 2-stroke engine having at least one combustion chamber equipped with a delayed fuel supply system opening into a cylinder head. A wall of the cylinder has at least one exhaust port situated in the vicinity of a first referernce point through which passes a first axial plane of the cylinder or exhaust plane and at least one intake port situated in the vicinity of a second reference point, or intake reference point. A plane perpendicular to the exhaust plane and containing the axis of the cylinder defines two accommodation zones in the cylinder with the first accommodation zone, complementary to the second one, containing the reference point of the exhaust port, and the supply system is situated in the second accommodation zone.
