[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 478646, member: 22989"] Theres that, but the thing a lot of people dont realize is how high strung the 4 strokes are. The older 2 smokes are relatively under powered for their displacement and lazy. This affords them an extremely long life even going wide open for 80% of their use. The 4 stroke motors cant be build this way or they would weigh double what a comparable 2 stroke weighs and be comically large. As far as storing one in a basement and pulling it out after 20yrs, putting fuel in and having it start, not gonna happen. You will wind up with stuck valves and other issues. [/QUOTE]
