		Both the Garelli and Marcellino engines are sometimes described as two-cylinder and sometimes as one-cylinder.
		Possibly as a result, the Twingle is sometimes confused with the (Click link for more info and facts about opposed piston) opposed piston two-stroke (An internal-combustion engine that burns heavy oil) diesel engine design, which has two pistons per cylinder at opposite ends of the cylinder, and no cylinder head at all.

	Talk:Opposed piston engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This site also has a description of a later two-piston engine designed by Giovanni Marcellino, but with different sized pistons and a more elaborate connecting-rod setup, which seems to be the twingle engine described at this website.
		Both engines were manufactured by Puch at their Graz works, the Marcellino design replacing the Garelli, and are described at the first site as one-cylinder double-piston two-stroke engines, but I'd describe them both as having two parallel cylinders sharing a single cylinder-head.
		The designer appears to wish to use the term, but his engine does not seem to have been built or demonstrated, and until it is the existing engines surely have priority on the name.

		Two versions of the Twingle engine were produced by Austrian moped manufacturer Puch.

		The twingle has to be one of the strangest configurations ever tried for a motorcycle.
		Twingles are not at all fast but I think the configuration does give them better gas mileage, a real problem with most two strokes.
		The twingle is a two stroke which means that oil is mixed with the gas and after it passes through the crank case and lubricates everything it goes to the combustion chamber where it is burned.

	Coleman fuel instead of gasoline.........
		On an engine that would be ping limited, if the manufacturer knows you are using a high octane fuel, he can raise the compression ratio, increase the timing and change the valve timing and overlap to increase power.
		These occurrences are most problematic in engines with large bores, high compression ratios, (or effectively high compression ratios due to super or turbo charging), and advanced ignition timing, though the problems can occur in many engines if the conditions are right.
		It is a very destructive condition for the engine, with everything involved taking a beating, to include pistons, valves, bearings, etc. I have seen pistons with holes burned completely through them caused by detonation, and valves beat up into their seats so badly that the heads were unuseable.

		The engine was stuffed into a strong tubular frame and made for a big, fast desert mount.
		Although the TDM is in reality a twin, it acts like a large single(or twingle), and with both pistons rising, falling and firing at the same time, it is quite the thumper.
		It uses an engine similar to the one in the Honda Hawk GT (650).

		The advantages of the subject engine design in the days before widespread use of the rotary valve in two-strokes lay basically in the enhanced ability to time the fuel air charge and in better combustion chamber scavenging.
		In the Puch/Sears engine one cylinder is situated directly behind the other; the front contained the exhaust ports and the rear the intake ports.
		The engine is tuned in the Puch/Sears version to be very tractable at low RPM and to be reliable as the bike was built for post-WW2 Southern Europe.

		From there, the engine mods are possible to go up to 90+ hp.
		Consider the crank, a 598cc piston kit from Engine Dynamics, oversized exhaust valves, CR/Flat slide carbs, etc. and it'll be pretty reliable (though cost a large chunk of your budget).
		I have a chart of some engine layouts (the Team Charm motor analysis) at: http://top.monad.net/~trident/ecco/motor.htm I have a reliable 68hp from my stock bored motor, but the head has been hogged out a bit, and I have a pretty high compression ratio.

	Things you (might) need to know
		While most motorcycle engineers reserve the twingle moniker for a two-cylinder engine modified to fire both cylinders at the same time, it is arguable that the two-stroke split single engine might also fit under that umbrella.
		This arrangement (when viewed from the left side of the engine) rotates counterclockwise and the exhaust ports close slightly before the transfers do, and also open slightly before the transfers open.
		Call it a twingle if you must, but now you should understand why it really is a split single.

		But figuring the engines are certainly buildable, he's willing to offer a set of castings to anyone who is able to provide plans--assuming they are part of a larger population of such engines and not a one-off, back-yard foundary job.
		To complete assembling the engine, either the conrod wrist pin hole must clear the case casting with the crank at TDC, thus allowing the piston to be attached after the rods have been assembled, or a hole must be drilled in the case to allow the pin to be inserted through the case.
		David of Bourke Engines had emailed not long prior to this, suggesting that this Watzit was based on Russell Bourke's design where the volume under each each piston is sealed around the Scotch-yoke rod--feasible because the rod's motion is linear--thus providing each cylinder with its own independant, two-cycle transfer pump.

		Twingle (#2) ="I hate to be picking the fly shit out of the pepper, but the definition of "twingle" isn't quite right.
		But, if you didn't turn the engine at all, and installed the left head and sprocket after doing the right side, you would have both camshafts set for TDC on the compression stroke at the same time.
		A stock BMW engine has one cylinder at tdc compression, while the other cylinder is finishing the exhaust stroke and is just begining to intake (maybe a little bit of overlap).

		It was good for about 10 minutes at that engine speed, maybe about 12,000 rpm, before the piston would overheat due to the lack of the decent metallurgy and alloys that we now possess.
		Their engines were more powerful and much more efficient than their contemporaries, but by the 1950's were obsolete and far surpassed by the loop-scavenged design.
		The "twingle" design was obviously limited in its ability to make power, but it was reliable and relatively efficient and made good torque.

	Engine & fuel engineering - Firing order and traction
		Engineers who design braking systems seem to think that ABS when properly applied is more effective than standard brakes in that the ABS systems lock and unlock (pulse) the brakes as many as 20 times per second depending on the system providing shorter stopping distances as opposed to being in a partial to complete skid.
		The engines with 2 large cylinders require more of energy be stored in a flywheel than a similarly displaced 4 cylinder in order to compress that large volume of air.
		Also from what I have read GP engines prior to the big bang firing order had a very savage power delivery (ie a big step in the torque curve) and the big bang firing order an effect of softening the throttle response making the bikes easier (relaitvely) to ride.

		This had a two stroke engine with two pistons in two bores (one behind the other) but with a common combustion chamber on top.
		It was, if I remember rightly, in a very dilapidated state and so, again uncharacteristically, my Father pitched in and put his considerable engineering skills to work to fully restore it to it's former glory.
		If any of you out there don't know about Vincent motorcycles, they were a British bike most famous for the 'Black Shadow' and 'Rapide' models; V-twins of 1000cc that in 'tweaked up' form held the motorbike speed record for many years.

		For a conversion that was called "twingle", the cams and ignition put the power stroke happening at the same time, to give the characteristics of a single.
