5.0 out of 5 stars In Respect of a Great Tuner, February 10, 2002
By 
Scootter (St. Joseph, Mo) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Two-stroke Tuner's Handbook (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was very instrumental in allowing me to achieve some of the accomplishments and rewards that I have earned to date. This man put into one book the knowledge of the universe as it related to the field that he wrote about. My closest friend had the oportunity to work with him on a project and the knowledge that Mr. Jennings shared has been shared with many others in this book. The book has been treated by us like a bible for the two stroke engine. No other book or other single source of information has existed that has embodied so many practical formulas and actual information that allows one to construct systems and redesign engines. Much regrets that furthers writings on two-stroke engines from Mr. Jennings have not been published.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two-Stroke theory and port area diagrams, June 29, 2001
This review is from: Two-stroke Tuner's Handbook (Mass Market Paperback)
The Jennings book is a simple masterpiece. He has taken some research that was done and published by Nagao, all to do with inlet tract delivery ratios, and without emphasising it he introduced the idea of port time areas. I am not sure if Nagao really understood the value of that idea, and it was a gem. Jennings read it and understood the value. He did his own investigation, and turned a minor suggestion into a real tool. This book is about the single idea of how to use port time-area diagrams. The other material in the book is good filler, but without port time-area diagrams I doubt the Jennings would ever have written this book. Written in 1973, and way ahead of its time, this is a must have book. This book really puts some method in to your tuning madness, just wonderful. Get it if you can!
