Some diesel requirements take effect this year.

Buy now and avoid the rush.

I wonder how this compares to the emission standards they already have
for four strokes. I know my 4 stroke seems a lot cleaner than the
classic 2 strokes if the smell and lack of smoke is any indication.

I think you are going to see catalytic converters to meet the new emission
standards. Even small lawn mower engines will have them.
