Bruce, jacobson built a lot of 2 strokes. A buddy had a small Toro blower
and the engine on it was a 2 stroke Techumseh. I had a mini bike with one
of those on it when I was a kid. not a real powerful thing on take-off or
rough terrain but would wind out on the road. I'd think they would at least
have as much power as the Simplex engine. There is a Techumseh engine group
on Yahoo. Maybe they can help.
