Sweet!!!!

[LowGear]

Very, very nice.

I'd look at those hot water tank braided SS hoses as an alternative (3/4 NPT).

Superb !!  I want a twin !

[LowGear]

OK!  I'm so fascinated I went back for another and another look.  Gosh, I sure wish my engine started that sweet. 

In trying to watch the valve timing I've decided this twin fires every 360 degrees?  Is this a Lister standard?

It does fire twice every 720 degrees but the spacing is 540 deg. gap then 270 deg. Whoops, sorry, 540, then 180 deg. or 180, then 540!

Edit brain fart!

Is it me or does that sound strange?  I wonder what the staggered firing does?

Makes it sound like a big harley!  One cylinder is 180 degrees behind the other. If it were timed to inject in sequence the next cylinder firing comes 180 degrees after. At this point the first cylinder is at the bottom of the power stroke and still has to exhaust, intake and compress (540 deg) before it is ready to fire again. You would have to have both throws together to get even firing spacing  but that would have both pistons going up and down together (balance)
