Abstract

A method for controlling a two-stroke engine assembly having a two-stroke internal combustion engine (ICE) having first and second cylinders; and an exhaust system fluidly. The exhaust system has a tuned pipe and a catalytic converter. The method having the steps of: sensing in the exhaust system, with a lambda sensor, a first combustion air-fuel equivalence ratio (λ) and a second combustion λ, the first and second combustion λ's being subsequent combustion λ's of different ones of the first and second cylinders; determining, by an engine control unit (ECU), a difference between the first and second combustion λ's; and in response to the difference between the first and second combustion λ's being greater than a predetermined λ, modifying an air-fuel ratio in at least one of the first and second cylinders to reduce the difference between the first and second combustion λ's below the predetermined λ.
