I’ts nice to see someone working on the early alternate firing motors. It seems like I never see those running at a meet. I heard a story once, that the Johnson brothers got the idea to build the alternate firing powerhead, after observing how smooth the V-45 motor ran with the compression release activated. Pretty interesting..
Those engines were really a ”milestone” motor for the outboard industry, when compared to the old opposed firing models.
