Small Engine Quiz

What is the function of the coil in a small engine?

• Creates spark to send to the spark plug

• Atomizes fuel and air

• Houses the valves

• Moves air/fuel to cylinder

What does the carburetor do in a small engine?

• Creates spark to send to the spark plug

• Atomizes fuel and air and sends it to the cylinder for combustion

• Houses the valves

• Moves air/fuel to cylinder

Which part of a small engine houses the valves, valve springs, and rockers?

• Coil

• Carburetor

• Cylinder head

• Spark plug

What is the primary function of the cylinder head in a small engine?

• Creates spark to send to the spark plug

• Atomizes fuel and air

• Houses the valves, valve springs, rockers, and moves air/fuel to cylinder and exhaust out

• Sends fuel to the carburetor
