"Victa model 500 twin cylinder lawnmower. Introduced in 1975 and only made for a brief period, the opposed twin cylinder engine displaced a modest 170cc. The engine was fueled by Victa's own design 'G4' carburetor. The round discs on the top side of each cylinder barrel are an automatic compression release, used to ease starting effort.

For those unaware, Victa is an Australian manufacturer, and has been in business since all the way back in 1952. Unfortunately, these machines were never (to my knowledge, anyways) sold in the USA. I've spent most of my life in the outdoor power equipment industry and have never seen one in person here in the States.

Wonderful example of Australian engineering in my opinion!"

So I was wondering if anyone has tried using Evaporust with a bit of Dawn in the hydrosonic machine.
I'm wondering if you can kill two birds with one stone doing this?

Pretty frigging cool.
 I would love to ride one!

Yup.. so true 👍

The seller is legit. Bought lots of parts from him.

Pretty amazing stuff the Nazi engineer's were creating.

"The Junkers Jumo 223 was an experimental 24-cylinder aircraft engine based on the Junkers Jumo 205. Like the Jumo 205, it was an opposed piston two-stroke diesel engine. It had four banks of six cylinders in a rhomboid configuration, with four crankshafts, one at each vertex of the rhombus, and 48 pistons. It was designed for a power of 2,500 horsepower at 4,400 rpm, and weighed around 2,370 kg.

Only one example is known to have been built. It is rumored to have been taken to Moscow at the end of World War II, where development may have continued. The engine was contemplated for use in the four-engine Messerschmitt Me 264 long-range bomber, https://planehistoria.com/me-264-amerika-bomber/

I like her stuff
 Fun and interesting though I wish it was more moto related.

Finally the insurance  company coughed up on some more tool replacement from the fire.
 I lost 3 good saws and their $$ sent equalled enough for this.
 It's actually better than any of the lost 3.

Bought me a cheap crappy Chinese mini battery powered chain saw trimmer.
 What I really can't believe is how good it actually works.
 What POS did you pick up that surprised you 🤔

This another really nice bike the fellow is selling.

I personally know the gentleman selling this bike he's a stand up fellow.
 His work is very good.

Um.. wow on that price

I'm contemplating a 2 stroke only meet/ride.
 I see all those 2t events happening but there is nothing here in Oklahoma at all for us 2t lovers specifically.
 So my question is this
What would you want to see or do at a 2t event?
 Also what would you expect as features that are 2t specific at such an event?
 I already have some Ideas that I want incorporate but still looking for some good ideas
 Thanks

Except for getting caught in a bad thunderstorm it was a great ride!

I'm certain this is not a RD.
Price is kinda high too.
 Too bad because it's only a couple miles from me.

Craigslist ad for a RG-400 Gamma
 Looks pretty nice though maybe a little high on the price.
 The seller has a few more cool bikes listed as well.

I just bought this factory Honda vacuum gauge set off Ebay.
 Not sure why they have adjustable valves on them other than possibly closing off  individual gauges for 2 or 3 cylinder engines maybe?
 Are the valves really necessary for synchronization of carbs?
 All the other sets I seen do not have them.
