Does anyone run a 4 stroke engine on a Merlin ? If so which one ? Looks like a sweet little ride to me, kind of reminds me of Little Nellie.

It they don't run a 4 stroke on the Merlin it is probably only because of the regs that the UK has to put up with. If it has been approved for a "certain" two stroke, then God would have to approve a four stroke before they could use it over there, and then it would be for a "specific" four stroke and not "any" four stroke.

I think there are at least three Merlins with 4 stroke engines in the UK, John Allan, John Macgill, Viv Freke, and perhaps another.
