When that happens, it drives each piston back down the cylinder and this motion pushes on the crank, making it move rotationally very quickly.

I weep for the future when people do not honor our cars' heritage.

Here, here!

I make no assumptions about people's skills/knowledge/experience. This is why I write simply and speak slowly.

An excellent trivia question is this: What was the last production car sold in the US with a carburetor from the factory?
