I know that just about everybody has bad-mouthed the 2si, but what are your opinions of the Hirth series?

Anybody have any opinions as to the various strengths and weaknesses of each?

I came across an old Kohler manual for a 2 stroke engine. It looks surprisingly like a Cuyuna. Kohler says that engine design was sold many years ago. Does anyone know of a connection? --Andy Asberry recommends NewsGuy--

I want to mark sheetmetal for bending. Can't use a scribe because I'll weaken the metal. Magic Marker is too thick. Pencil doesn't show. What do you use? - Mike

I spent an hour probing the TCM...
