I've got a couple of twins. Found one ages ago by the side of the road. Missing too many parts so I bought another. That was a goer but died when it lost crankcase compression (then I found a fair amount of scoring on the pistons as well.) I have 3 or 4 motors, so I guess I should try to sort out a combination that works, and use it.
They do mow well., when they go. I can zip though my lawns much quicker than I can with my aged Jetfast. Then again, probably any decent mower can out-mow a Jetfast! Still it is 40 years old now and still runs ok (B&S engine).
To be fair, total time spent mowing is about the same. With the Jetfast you put straight petrol in it, open the throttle, pull the rope and start mowing. With the twin, you spend half the time starting it, then race around the lawn.
