Nope, sorry Bob,
I didn't say the Harley fired at TDC on either stroke. What I said was
it fired when one was on compression, and the other on exhaust.
The purpose of the comparision was to show not neccessarily the H-D
ignition weirdness, but to make the point that firing two plugs on
opposite cylinders is and old and tested usage. But with no real
performance advantage.
Besides, I sold my Harley's long before the price of the bloody things
got outrageous. (I never was very smart in that sort of thing)
