Right. Firing sequence for a v-twin is 1, 2, 1,2,. Unless, of course you've
fouled a plug, then it's 1,2 1,1,1, (poof) 2. :)
We are into semantics here, and I wrongly said firing order when I meant
crankshaft degrees and firing position. My point was that the degrees (of
crankshaft rotatio

I'll be darned. I stand corrected. Thanks, Bob! I imagine the
