ABSTRACT:
A switching mechanism capable of switching between a two-stroke and a four-stroke operation of an engine as desired, wherein the switching mechanism is switchable between engagement with a first cam lobe for four-stroke operation and a second cam lobe for two-stroke operation, the four-stroke operation maximizing fuel and emissions efficiency and the two-stroke operation maximizing power.
