Hi Paul,
         Awesome - I'd love to see it. My mate just recently got a twin 
cyl. running and it sounds really great (a bit like a John Deere tractor - 
just better - especially when he just "touches" the throttle).

         Those barrels seem to be exactly the same (just more on yours) as 
Nevilles twin and also look very similar to the barrel on my Wolseley Type 
"R" (circa 1928). Interesting that it seemed a "popular" design at the time 
and many manufacturers "copied" it.

         Is this the engine that Arnie asked us (members of the SEL)  to 
donate the equivalent of a weeks supply of beer to a year or so back - If 
so, I'm glad that my beer went to a good cause!

Keep the revs up (or down)
