I don't disagree with your "well-performing engine" comment, but in the
good old days in the 1950s, I had plenty of "well-performing" two stroke
engines that started every time, ran just about all day at WOT, and were
easy to repair without the use of exotic tools or instruments.

And if you got lost, you simply turned around and followed your oil slick
back to port.

I suppose I could have done that, but in LI Sound, you could see both
shorelines... :)

I am thinking back to my youth spending summers on a small lake. We all had
big old Merc, Johnson and Evinrude 2 strokes on our boats that left an oil
slick whenever the leg was in the water, running or not.

The EPA would have a field day now-a-days.
