And the next thing you know it is carboned up and stuck a ring. I know YAMAHA continued to offer many 2 strokes as premix or oil injected models well into the 2000's, and had little to no trouble out of them. Basically oil injection took the user out of the equation in many aspects as a source of trouble by putting in a system to do the work for them, and warning horns to tell them when they made a mistake.

Exactly correct....and I suspect that the EPA and their overzealous a$$holes might have had something to do with it also. Just like the mandate for 4 strokes.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
