Abstract

See full text

A mixture-lubricated four stroke engine has a cylinder in which a combustion chamber is formed. The combustion chamber is delimited by a piston which is mounted movably in the cylinder. The engine has an intake channel which discharges into the combustion chamber via an inlet opening controlled by an inlet valve. A mixture formation unit includes at least one fuel opening which discharges into the intake channel. For the lubrication of the crankcase interior, a flow connection connects the intake channel to the crankcase interior via a connecting opening which discharges into the intake channel downstream of the mixture formation unit. The fuel quantity is controlled by a fuel valve. A control unit is configured to activate the fuel valve in a manner dependent on the position of the crankshaft such that the fuel valve is opened at least also during a part of the compression stroke.
