I've read that article before and it's a good article. Oil injection adds lots of potential failure points. An intact properly maintained oil injection system might be very reliable. In reality the oil injection is usually not maintained and is the root cause of MANY MANY MANY engine failures. Why even chance it . . . when you can remove ALL of the potential hazards with 1 action. Simply eliminating the oil injection removes a dozens of potentially catastrophic hazards, the need to perform regular (and sometimes expense) time consuming maintenance procedures and inspections . . . when there is ZERO benefit to keep that "simple" (but not really) system operating properly. So in my uneducated opinion . . . . it seems like a NO BRAINER to yank that POS system off every two stroke CARB outboard and throw it in the trash!!! K.I.S.S. = the best outboard lesson ever taught.
