Prototyped it into a racing engine, and was blowing Mercury away.

It's a shame they didn't have the time and finances to really develop
it.

Well I think somebody did put it into production in small 10 h. models,
but i wonder why it never caught on? and went the way of the NSU and
Mazda?

Even Yamaha and Suzuki tried them in motorcycles and they dropped as
soon as they were introduced, it seems.

Pretty much for the same reasons you don't see two-stroke motorcycles
anymore, fuel consumption and emissions.

Yeah, but the two strokes are soooooo much more fun

They were sort of a two stroke, in you mixed the oil. What was more fun
about a 2 stroke. Lots of power, and the snowmobile had fantastic
acceleration and speed.




The old "pre-emission controls" two strokes were fun. The new ones,
overly complex and not so much fun. And the stench of that modern two
stroke oil...phew.
