Intermittent, high-pitched
two-stroke note
superimposed
on low "four-stroke"
sound.
Note: Although this is a two-stroke engine it fires like a
four-stroke at these rich needle-valve settings-i.e. ignition
of the fuel charge takes place at every fourth stroke of the
piston instead of at every second stroke.
