    The staggered firing intervals in a 180 deg twin will inevitably result in one cylinder losing out due to poor distribution of the mixture.
    And as I said before - the bigger the cylinders involved, the bigger the problem.
    thanks for the clarification i thought that the cars would provide nearly constant draw

    I'm presuming that Suzuki had a 4-1 with a nice waist height outlet then?
