ALMOST right Mike
4 Stroke moto (name of stroke in parenthesis)
air and fuel go in (intake), gets compressed (compression), spark (combustion/power), burned mix goes out (exhaust)
this turns the crank, the power steering, ac, water pump, etc are connected to the crank via belts (normally), the crank is connected either in the back or the sides (depending on what wheels they are driving) of the motor to a flywheel, the flywheel hooks up to the transmission, which hooks up to the differential, the differential is what makes the tires move in the right direction (and more advanced ones transfer power away from slipping wheels) so your car goes forward. I highly recommend howstuffworks.com I believe the site is.
