No, "lucky" IMO was a minor factor. The ETECs seem to be a pretty
good motor with better than average reliability. They certainly are
strong and have good HP to weight ratios.
They still burn oil. Expensive oil.
Yes, but over time, it's less expensive than regular oil changes for
four strokes.

And my E-TECs don't burn much at all.
How can burning oil in a two stroke be less expensive than replacing
ordinary engine oil in a four stroke?

Amount of oil burned vs amount of oil changed/filter/labor...


I doubt the math would give your etec the advantage.

It doesn't. See my post above.
