Thanks for the info....
I understand engine timing as it applies to an engine with valves but how does the stupid glow engine know what direction it is operating in? All it does is suck & blow
My theory on this was that the piston is doing the same thing no matter what direction it was turning????
I gather then that crank shaft direction affects flow within the engine & this restricts performance.. Do I have this correct. I find no other reason to explane the loss of performance.
Is it a reasonable assumption that if the engine had the intake & exaust ports moved to the opp side then the performance would be the same???[:-]
