Zenoah Inline Twin Marine Engine
check out this twin Zenoah engine. I thought about doing this. Has anyone attempted their own inline twin? Do you think they fire at the same time or alternate?

RE: Zenoah Inline Twin Marine Engine
I have never built zenoahs that way but I have put together several homelites that way, The engines fire 180 out from each other notice how the 2 coil pickups are mounted on the front engine (1 on top and 1 on the bottom ) thats becaust there is only 1 flywheel. you could fire them both at the same time with no vibration problems but you would need a second set of mags it the flywheel. looks like a very professionial job done of mating those g23/26 engines

RE: Zenoah Inline Twin Marine Engine
If the inline twin fired at the same time it would be twice the vibration than a single. The twin firing at 180 apart effectively helps to reduce vibration from the rotational/reciprocating mass BUT it does nothing for firing harmonics. If the engine was an opposed twin firing at the same time then you would have balance between firing/mass and end up with a very smooth running beast, under ideal conditions of course.
