2 stroke vs 4 stroke

[2strokesteve89]

Those 2t Detroit's made up for no pre mix with the puddles of engine oil they left

That's called post mix

Noisy bastards too! Lots and lots of noise.

Potatoe potatoe potatoe.......that's what they sounded like in the old tug my dad ran years ago.

Those tugs motors turned about 600 if they were of the high rpm persuasion. Did your dad show you how to reverse one?

He was off that tug before me. My first memories of him were at sea for 6-12 weeks at a time on the North Star, doing the Seattle to nome run.

I knew quite a few guys who were with North Star. Good bunch to work with.

Yup.....after that he went to sea land, got tired of the politics, and moved to homer in 77 to join SWAPA, did the pilot gig until 06

I'm sorry did I interrupt everyone's feelings????
Fuck those detroiys 2ts.
I want to see a a 4t Honda motor that runs on premix with no crankcase oil.

I googled that and found a 4t Stihl chainsaw they call it 4mix, it gets its lubrication via 2t and its power via 4t, sounds pretty gay.

Four strokes are messy! YAmahas got oil spewing from both sides and the front and the crf isn't much cleaner. The oil/filter process and frequency is messy.
