- Induction stroke/intake
- Piston moves down the cylinder causing the inlet valve to open drawing in fresh supply of petrol vapour and air into the cylinder.
- Compression stroke
- The inlet valve closes and the piston moves up the cylinder. This compresses the fresh fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
- Power Stroke/ignition _
- A spark is produced at the spark plug. This causes the fuel mixture to ignite and expand resulting in pressure that forces the piston to move down the cylinder.
- Both valve closed.
- Exhaust stroke
- The piston moves up the cylinder to eliminate the bumt fuel mixture through the open exhaust valve.Management practices on calves
