Whatever happened to.......
I have this vague recollection (they are mostly vague these days), when I was in High school (God, that's a lifetime ago) that Norton were playing around with a parallel twin 2 stroke.
It was a stepped piston arrangement, 180 degree crank and the piston step on one side was the charge pump for the combustion chamber on the other side.
The idea was that it allowed a wet sump 2 stroke and so better longevity and reduced production cost.
Does anyone know what became of it and if any examples still exist?
I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
