It was all the buzz years ago...and a lot of the major manufacturers were experimenting with the concept.
2 strokes always had problems meeting emmissions requirements.
That is why detroit diesel abandoned the 2 stroke diesels so many years ago.
Plus the big old detroits needed a blower to move air throught the cylinders.
