Hmmm. I thought it was a good thought experiment. I understand the crankcase is not efficient at pumping, but it's how many high-peformance, high-RPM 2 stroke intake systems work.... and they only get one "pump" per intake, where the 4 stroke version would get 2.

Again, it's something I would love to try and may not work at all... Maybe something to try sometime later on.
