[QUOTE="dkonrai, post: 343257, member: 9947"] imho: a tuned 2 stroke will start in one or two pulls, not smoke excessive, can idle down lower than a 4 stroke (4 strokes need idle speed for oil pressure), parts will always be easy to find, millions of johnson/evinrude parts out there, simple to work on, less maintenance, excellent power to weight ratio. 4 strokes, are heavier, but do run quite and give outstanding gas mileage. as for parts, its easier to find old 2 stroke parts than 4 stroke parts. many newer (199's to early 2000) parts are listed as nla. yes its easier to find carb or carb parts for the older two strokes. personally i have bought/serviced/sold about 60 motors or so in the past few years. imho a yamaha or jonnyrude 2 stroke will out perform any 4 stroke.
