“Hit-and-miss” engine fires in one cycle, and then clears the exhaust and draws in fresh fuel and air moisture on the second cycle.
Just a question... is this what is referred to as a “hit-and-miss” engine? I’ve heard of them but never seen one.
The hit and miss was usually a single cylinder engine that governed it’s speed by cutting out the ignition. The more load you put on it the more often the cylinder would fire. Intake valves were vacuum operated to prevent the engine from flooding out under light loads. Very simple, but inefficient.
No, it is a four stoke V style engine.
