[QUOTE="DannyMoto07, post: 1180534, member: 76870"] I've always found this topic interesting on many different levels. Diesel, even though it's efficient and getting cleaner by the day has it's technology based on heat. Therefore you need massive weight to compensate (cast iron). Thus making weight an issue. Four-stroke gas is great, cleanish and torquy, however there are SO MANY power-robbing moving parts. Cams, valves, rockers, springs, rods.. etc. etc. Two-stroke gas motors can be all aluminum or magnesium making them extremely light weight, and the only moving parts are the reeds (if equipped) and the piston. I think the reason most people are scared about two-strokes is the fact that they do not have a designated sump to lubricate the motor... they're based on a mix-only lubrication system. I think this stigma on motor seizure, difficulty in tuning, and the fact that they BURN oil is what's holding 2-strokes back. People need to realize that 2-strokes are very clean, easilly tunable, lightweight, torquy, full of potential horsepower, and are the highest revving motors on the planet (next to gas-turbine motors). I've tuned many a 50cc 2-stroke, decked heads, ported motors, built my own reeds, and they are by-far the best bang-for-your-buck modifiable motors on the plannet. Gratned, 4-strokes have their place too... I would never want a 2-stroke lawnmower. Simply imagine the potential of a car like the Geo Prizm, Toyota Echo, or even the Smart cars... A 500cc 3-cylinder 2-stroke would be perfect. But that's just my opinion... Dan [/QUOTE]
