Noun

1. {{lb|en|automotive}} [[abnormal|Abnormal]] [[operation]] of a [[two-stroke]] [[internal combustion engine]], such that the [[cylinder]] only [[fire]]s every second cycle (like a [[four-stroke engine]]). This occurs when the exhaust scavenging and inlet charging leaves a mixture in the cylinder which does not ignite, but needs a second scavenge/charge to produce an adequate mix.
