You've definitely got the experience there. The only two stroke
experience I have (diesel anyway) is the 6 and 12 cylinder
Fairbanks-Morse 38ND8-1/8's we had on the boats (submarines) I sailed
on. When they were running, who cared if they vibrated, they were so
loud you could barely think. They were two stroke, opposed piston (2
pistons in each cylinder) huge fuel oil beasts. They were as reliable
as a stone though, which is good for an emergency generator.
