The Czech Benz and Lorenz engines also coast against compression, but they are still hit&miss.  

Engines like these still coast, but you don't hear the air movement like on the ones with the exhaust valve held open.

What about the engines that coast against compression like Otto's and several other's.  :)  They aren't typical throtle governed engines but yet they only fire when they get fuel.

 

Personally I like em all !!!!   :)
