Well it's better than the Australian 6-stroke or the micro-cam engine. If it was tried in 1913 and dropped, what's going to make it work now? New materials? If he's having to run pre-mix it's a non starter on emissions. If there is nothing really new, it strikes me as a curiosity rather than a practical design, 50 HP from what's really a supercharged 500 doesn't seem that fantastic. Good luck to the guy though he's certainly got the skill to make it work if there is anything there.

I'm getting a Hybrid on Monday. New Company hack is a Petrol-Electric Honda. The Hybrid monica I can tell is going to get over used in the near future.

Moniker, I believe to be the correct spelling. Unless of course you're referring to that famed Northern prostitute ' High-bred Monica', originally of well-to-do origins, but reduced to selling her body in the nightclubs of Leeds. She told all her potential clients, "A lady should never be without a pink gin and a pearl necklace, and if it pleases you I'll have the first now and the second later".

Having tried most clubs in Leeds in my time, I can honestly say I've never the lady  ;D

Now an odd fact is fact is that the only club in the Leeds redlight district is in fact part of the gay scene. Bad planning or what.
