or perhaps you prefer 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8?
Most of the fleet here is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
Got one that's 1-2-3-4-5-6
Another that's 1-5-3-6-2-4
One of these 1-3-4-2
And one of these 1-*-4-2 (the #3 cylinder is dead )
1-3-4-2 once saved a magazine feature. A Locost builder had thrashed to get his bike-engined car up and running for an article - to the point where it hadn't run under its own power until it got to the meeting place. And it would only run on two cylinders. I looked at it and asked "do these bike engines use a normal firing order?". We swapped the plug wires from 1-2-3-4 to 1-3-4-2 and voila! Yes indeed they do...
I have no idea what my more than four firing orders are. There are five V8s from four manufacturers in the fleet spanning a 40 year production range. They're probably all different.
