Abstract
A composite cranks haft counterweight of a two-cycle internal combustion engine includes a “T” shaped counterweight surrounded by a cup-shaped retainer that holds light weight inserts against the counterweight. Together with the counterweight the inserts create a full circle that reduces the empty volume in a crankcase of a two-cycle engine.
