Identify basic engine systems (two-and four-cycle), subsystems, and components.

Identification should include systems such as electrical, cooling, ignition, and fuel, as well as jet drive, power trim, gear cases, and engine controls/rigging. In the case of fuel, identification should emphasize scavenging and appropriate refueling applications.
