Cylinders Fireing.

Whether it's a one cylinder or on up to sixteen cylinders.Not really
meaning to get off topic on two wheelers) Only one cylinder fires at a
time.I don't know about the newer Harley Davidson Motorcycles, but the
older model (I have never owned a Harley Davidson Motorcycle before, not
a real one, I once owned a small made in Italy ''Harley Davidson
Motorcycle'') Harleys fired off both cylinders at the same time.

Well...., now a days they have this waste spark system that some
vehicles use which fires two cylinders at a time... Only one is on the
compression stroke, but...

Liquid gas will not burn, only the vapors of gas burns.You can sit a
spark down inside of a container of gas (gasoline) and it won't do
anything but just sit there and make nice pretty sparks.Air, fuel, and
igniton is what makes those glorified air pumps (engines) run.

Same for a Harley.

I have owned two old Cushman Motorscooters before, and a Vespa Ciao
Moped and a Honda Moped and a made in Italy so-called Harley Davidson
Motorcycle.I currently own a 1961 made in Germany Hercules Westlake
Moped (it has bicycle pedals on it) I bought second hand for $350.00
from an elderly guy about seventeen years ago.He had bought two of them
for his grand daughters to ride, but them gals didn't like to ride them)
My Moped only has sixteen original miles on it.I need to make a new
transmission gasket and buy some new tires and tubes.I guess I will let
them women next door to me ride my Moped around the neighborhood once in
a while.I have long since gotten too fat and heavy to ride it around.

Some guys have experimented with British twins firing both cylinders at
the same time (twingles).

You have some very collectible motorbikes. Take good care of them.
Don't know if I would let anyone ride them that is not an
experienced motorcyclist.
