You’re gonna absolutely need a seperate oil injector to pull this off. That’s the only major requirement to do this, unless you want to sieze the engine.

Timing needs to be modified as well.

Your air mixture will be the place where you stumble the most, since too higha pressure from the cylinder will cause backpressure in the intake and you won’t get enough air in the mix. YOu also have the small issue of the “smell”. I don’t mean that in a bad way, i mean technically so, since the agents they use to provide the smell will under all reasonable situations remain disovled in the gas, and tend to ignite before the propane does. It should be a huge problem, but something to keep an eye on.

Nothing 2-stroke specific, but you may want to try and dig up some mother earth news issues from the 70’s, they had a few cars they converted. maybe something in there would be helpful in the long run.

Yes, it’s possible, certainly an actual option as opposed to say ethanol in a 2-stroke.

That being said, you could always scrap the engine alltogehter and install some pulse-jets like the guy in the netherlands. stopping might be fun, but there won’t be a harley in the world that’ll be able to match the sound comming on your ped.
