Ignition
The vacuum that sucks in the air/ fuel mixture is caused by what?
Downward stroke of the piston
Small engines convert linear energy into what kind?
Rotary energy
Venturi
Connects piston to crankshaft
Connecting rod
supplies fuel to the venturi tube when the engine is running at low speeds
Idle valve
What type of engine is defined as an engine where the air/fuel are burned within the engine?
Internal combustion
What is mounted to the block to cover the combustion chamber?
Head
Not enough fuel in the mixture

Flywheel
supplies fuel to the venturi tube when the engine is running at high speeds
Main needle valve
What is the total distance the piston moves from TDC to BDC?
Stroke
These provide a tight seal between piston and cylinder?
Compression rings
The two carburetor adjustments that regulate fuel mixtures
Main needle
Idle screw
Mixes gas and air into a vapor
Carburetor
Regulates the amount of air/fuel mixture entering the combustion chamber
Throttle
What happens when you compress the air/fuel mixture?
Increases the temperature
What is considered the backbone of the engine?
Crankshaft
Device used to regulate speed
Governor
Moves oil around the crankcase
