Just as a point of fact, Global, of Hendersonville NC went down the
pan, was bought by Mosler which eventually did a similar trick. The
engines I believe are now manufactured Hi-Tec in Long Beach FL.
Global and Mosler are therefore almost the same thing.
Globals had a problem with the Magnesium cases which often crack
and are difficult to repair. The carburettors were also prone to
falling off at inconvenient moments. (A Quickie Q1 was written off
in UK like this)
The early Moslers ie the MM-CB were (usually) very good, the design
was almost identical to the Global but the case was aluminium and
the carb bolted on. Many international championships have been won
with this engine.
The later Moslers (CB 40) were poorly developed and prone to cronic
manufacturing faults and are to be avoided with a long pole.
Of Hi Tec I know little.
