Yea... I didn't think it got 60, although I was thinking at least 40...Originally posted by: Roger
My 600 got 30 M.P.G.
Don't think that just because it was extremely tiny and had only a 600cc engine that it got 60 M.P.G.
I sure do miss them now.

Is that a highway figure? I'd imagine that city driving would absolutely kill your milage.. since you would spend so much time in each gear, vroooooooooooooooo-o-o-o-m.. lol..
No... there is nothing rice about it.Originally posted by: new2AMD

It has no show and no go... lol
The pistons in ALL 2-cylinder 4-cycle engines move up and down together, this included the V-twins in Harleys and Ducatis. There is only 1 fire per revolution, so when (for example) piston #1 is at the top just before the intake stroke, then piston#2 at the top just before the combustion stoke.Originally posted by: ElFenix
is that the honda where the two pistons move up and down together?
The inside isn't really riced.. just restored.Originally posted by: new2AMD

the inside looks riced. i agree you need NoS stickers if you wanna add HP.

The nice stereo system shouldn't be considered rice..an automobile isn't a car without a stereo, and a good one makes it just that much better... lol

The Honda 600 had an inline-2, which is probably the roughest running 4-cycle engine possible short of a 1 cylinder (flat and V-twin balance better).

Huh.. What?
Well wait, LOL..... I think you misunderstood what he means by "together"... Either that or I misunderstood...
I think he means like... synchronous. Imagine a 1 cylinder engines crankshaft....
Now add a second throw to the shaft, in the same place as the first one.. instead of opposite.
The pistons would travel up and down together at the same time.. It would be exactly like a 1 cylinder engine, only it would have 2 cylinders.. both cylinders would intake at the same time, have power strokes at the same time..
That just seems silly.
Is that how this thing works?
Sorry, no. The first and most obvious is horizontally opposed two cylinder engines.Originally posted by: Vic

Correct. If #1 is in the power stroke, then #2 would be in the intake stroke. The pistons are 360 degrees opposed to each other, but as 4-stroke engines take 720 degrees to complete all 4-cycles, this makes for a balanced firing order. To the casual observer, it appears that the pistons move up and down together, when in fact they are on opposite ends the 4-stroke process at all times.Originally posted by: thomsbrain
no i think he's saying that one cylinder is having the power stroke while the other is having the exhast/intake stroke, but they physically are in the same place at the same time.
No, you don't understand. In my example when cylinder 1 is at TDC, cylinder 2 is at BDC. This is how almost every 4-cycle in-line two cylinder I have seen is set up.Originally posted by: Vic
Zen, I understand how it works... I think you misunderstood me. Btw, though, all horizontally-opposed engines work like how I described above, which is why people call them "boxers". It's just that when both opposing pistons are at TDC in a boxer, they are farthest apart from each other, and then they come closest to each other at BDC. A flat-4 is 2 flat-2's put together, a flat-6 is 3, etc.
Actually, I do understand.Originally posted by: Zenmervolt

As for boxer engines, you're blowing smoke. I have a boxer 4 in my car (1976 VW-Porsche 914). Cylinder arrangement is as follows:
FRONT
1 3
2 4
REAR
Cylinders 1 and 4 are both at TDC when cylinders 2 and 3 are at BDC. Cylinders that are directly opposed (e.g. cylinders 1 and 3 in my example) are never both at TDC or BDC at the same time.
