Yes - the flat rate for an engine overhaul was 8 hours. It could coast by letting off the throttle, or you could turn that feature off. Sounded like a Singer sewing machine going down the road.
I never drove a 2 stroke, but the later cars with the Ford V-4 forklift engine had the same gearbox. The freewheel was an oddity in the V-4, but pretty important in a two stroke without oil injection. Coasting to a stop with the throttle shut and the drivetrain spinning the engine was no big deal, but engine braking down a mountain with little to no fuel would result in damage from oil starvation.
