In a cylinder lubrication system for a two-stroke engine, a plurality of lubricating oil supply openings (78) open out in the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder (42) at a point lower than a top ring (22b) of a piston (22) located at a bottom dead center. The lubricating oil supply openings are configured to provide a larger amount of lubricating oil in the thrust side and anti-thrust side of the cylinder than in a remaining part of the cylinder. Thereby, the consumption of lubricating oil and the emission of undesired substances can be minimized while providing an optimum lubrication of the sliding part between the piston and the cylinder.

A fuel pump includes: a housing with fuel reservoir; first and second axles; respective pluralities of cams fixedly secured to each axle. The first axle and cams are rotated by gas pedal actuation, and meshed gears cause co-rotation of the second axle and its cams. A plurality of housing conduits each have first conduit portions in fluid communication with the fuel reservoir, which transition into second conduit portions in fluid communication with a fuel injector. Pusher rods slidable in each second conduit portion contact spring-biased balls. The gears, cams, and pusher rods ends are positioned in the fuel reservoir. Spring-biased balls also normally block the first conduits. Rotation of the first axle for increased crankshaft rotation speed causes simultaneous rotation of every cam, and each increment of cam rotation into second, third, fourth, and fifth rotational positions sequentially drives a respective pusher rod to provide incremental increased fuel flow.

A valve timing control apparatus of an internal combustion engine may include a driving rotational body to which torque is transmitted from a crankshaft, a driven rotational body fixed to a camshaft to which torque is transmitted from the driving rotational body, an electric motor disposed between the driving rotational body and the driven rotational body and relatively rotating the driving rotational body and the driven rotational body when electric power is applied thereto, and a deceleration mechanism that decelerates a rotational speed of the electrical motor and transmit the decelerated rotational speed to the driven rotational body.
