Secondly an all attitude design for lubricating the engine would be advantageous, BACKGROUND 15 Such having oil mixed in the air-fuel mixture. Further the invention discloses a rotary valve controlled Conventional gasoline fueled four-stroke engine used in fuel injection system where the rotary valve opens and closes hand-held applications as in a trimmer and a blower sold by the crankcase port at the bottom end of the injection tube 38. Ryobi and MTD and gaseous fueled blower by LEHR are The rotary valve offers an un-symmetric port timings unlike a environmentally friendly. However, the drawback is that piston ported timing. those engines are very heavy and cannot be operated upside Further the invention discloses different dual passage gas down for extended time and the same design cannot be used eous fueled carburetors for independently regulating the air in chainsaws. Alternative two-stroke engines are advanta and air-fuel mixture.
