Oddball engines and prototypes

Well, you do that!
Me? - back into hospital again - this time the medication went totally awol! just got out again yesterday evening,with my fingers crossed.
Unlike you, I'm now a fragile old man (at least that's how it appears at the moment) and I won't be pushing the boundaries anymore!
Three months of intravenous medication ahead!

I guess when I say cut loose that would be fix the old F9 up again and do some quiet trail rides. My physio gave me a little "talking to".
I am very grateful to be just doing what I'm doing now.

Jeeze WD-80, to be sure, you're "pushing the boundaries" of off-topic posts - with your sorry invalid/medical misadventure saga..

I wouldn't comment, 'cept for the fact that you made such a song & dance ( is that what did your hip joint in?) here earlier..
..about what you perceived to be thread hi-jacking..


Oh, & I note that Marcy has been conspicuously absent - in the face of the considered views of a couple of notable 2T engineers..
.. on the viability/desirability of a 90`even-fire inline 4cyl 2T crank configuration - subject..

& this.. after bagging the shit out of me - for having the temerity - to even moot it here..

What is it with you, J.A.W? Were you denied a red tricycle as a child?

Sorry about that, folks. I'll try to behave like an adult again from now on. I just had to get it out of my system.

That's the story! don't let anything interfere with your other stuff!
Frits, exactly the same advice to you .
You guys do a sterling job.

BTW, It has now become plain to me that when there is nothing else in life to do but be glued to the keyboard, it can affect the balance of the mind, ( evidence provided by "whatshisname").

Mate, I had to make do with hand me downs, so I've since learned not to wear any crap, - if you want to know..

But, Frits, frankly - I think we should try & stick to discussion of issues that relate to the thread topic..
.. rather than going off tangent on to "what is it with you", or lamentations over various human physical failings..

If anyone is really interested in such stuff, there is an off topic section in which they can be addressed.

I will point out that both you & Wobbly have both put on record here that there is merit in the TZ 750 with 90`crank idea,
which I mooted & yet was pilloried over, needlessly.. so, I give as good as I get eh, man, & there it is.. ok..

...Frits, frankly - I think we should try & stick to discussion of issues that relate to the thread topic...

Agreed, so that's what we will try do do. We can also give other people some leeway instead of forcing them to behave like we think they should.
Let's leave that kind of behaviour to Islamic State, OK?

You guys do a sterling job, so I'll do my bit & stop waffling on with extraneous blather.

BTW, It has now become plain to me that when there is nothing else in life to do but be on an anti-biotic drip, it can affect the balance of the mind, ( evidence provided by own empirical experience).

Yeah, fixed that for ya W-D..

Now can we get back to the actual bloody thread topic?

This site listed below has a number of interesting engine tuning technical tips..

Just a wee reminder that this site has an ignore function which is easily accessible. There are many here who speak gems of interest but which are often buried in a coating of bile and shit. You either accept that the "gems" are worth scraping the crap off in order to view or use Ignore.

[F5 Dave]

11 years I've been here and I've just used the ignore function just once. Its brilliant.

Go to settings. Then on left, edit ignore list.
Type in J.A.W. and save. When you view it again it has the name in the list. It's like he's gone and you don't have to read his sociopathic spiel. Bliss.

11 years and only one. Go ahead (you really cant help your nasty self) I can't hear you.

Yeah.. & that'll be a couple more pointless off-topic posts to dog up the bloody thread..

As for his faux "sociopathic spiel" comment, I'd suggest dyno-Dave checks out 'passive-aggressive/avoidant personality traits'..
..he might gain some insight into his own deficits.. but then, his self-awareness level is such, I really doubt he'd grasp it..


Anyhow, FFS, can we now get back on topic.. see here how a 40+ year old 2T production bike mill is still competitive in race spec..

I'd rather use 'IGNORE' like Dave and find the 'uncoated' versions of the gems myself. and of course I won't hear the usual vitriolic retort that this post will undoubtedly bring!

Have been out of action myself for a while/still and I had a look in here. Bloody hell J.A.W., what’s gotten into you? Can‘t you differentiate between real crap and what’s actually been going on here for quite some time (most of it not crap)?
I think that you might have forgotten that forums such as this serve many purposes: information sharing, amusement, participation, interest, looking at alternative things, relaxation, reminiscing, encouraging, etc and, importantly, friendship. I am absolutely sure that many friendships have been established by the introduction of people via forums. Happily, I am one who has benefitted here.
So J.A.W. there must be another side to you that we’re not seeing. Could we please just see that side only. Thanks

Hi Ken, you are back, good to see you are on the mend.
I'd have some pictures of the compression engine to show you but my phone says it's going to explode every time I turn it on, bloody virus I guess. Looking at the wrong stuff
Never the less I've got an 8mm stroke crank now and an alloy stack over the top of the AG 100 engine cylinder that a fourstroke would be proud of. I'll organise the drive this week and give it a spin up, see what happens? I'll post video (if my phone gets fixed) on the Foundry thread.

[F5 Dave]

Good to have you back Ken. Seriously just put that guy on ignore. I cant see what he writes. We've tried to reason and he's been kicked off many forums before, he's just a nasty sad man. You on the other hand we like.

[mr bucketracer]

is J.A.W like a new kind of engine . i would guess 2 stroke (-; , i will get a picure of a engine that will blow your mind if the old man lets me copy it
