I love it here in the UK and always pleased to get home (it is a bit wet) the ones I know who paid to leave these shores can not afford to return and some do want to come home , riding in oz is great but watch them rues come night fall , give me UK Europe any day with its weather and problems I still say best place on earth

Im guessing your talking pre mix , I would have thought the whole system was running on a two stroke type ?  total loss oil of the day but no pre mix , the beauty of a two stroke is its simplicity  power and manufacturing cost too my mind , but this engine appears to have none , add to that the fact that the oiling system may prove over time to be its Achilles heal and a fine balancing act which the public would have struggled to understand  or master , your relative obviously got it to work well and should be commended for  this (we would still be riding houses if it were not for men like him) but I can see a good reason why it was never taken up . Best of luck and I would love to hear one run one day

the top of the charging piston looks to have a ring and I think it must have a sleeve (looks like a spigot at the top of barrel) as the piston appears to have rings fitted , 12/14 lb is very high for petrol and the heat generated must be difficult to lose where did you get these figures from  , I have read it did well being raced and I wonder on what fuel , it would be great to hear one run and im guessing your casting in iron , keep us posted on the progress please http://www.odd-bike.com/2014/02/dkw-supercharged-two-strokes-force-fed.html    5000rpm for any mag is asking a lot

yes that looks like a metering valve , the cad shows the outer and inner piston sweeping to be level (tops) is this the case , and have you calculated the pump displacement volume and comp ratio , it is interesting , does it run inner and outer rings on a common sleeve

nice , the metering variable valve which I think I can see is on the rear of the cylinder and not shown on the illustration (maybe the wrong angle) if your building the engine from scratch I would build two , the lubrication may take some getting right first time

wish I could see more but looks like a metering valve at the rear of the cylinder which I would guess is for the outer pump thing
