Sorry to be so long again, but this subject has been a war since 98 &
it seems till Brunswick are all 4 stroke & E-tec has failed it will
continue.

Ah - now I understand the reasons for your antipathy towards FICHT.

NIcely put by the way. I don't agree based on my own personal
experience with FICHTS and what I know about them pre/post-OMC, but
you have reasons and that's fine.

It was interesting. :)

I'm curious though. Your argument about diesel makes some sense -
essentially, FICHT (and Etec for that matter) is diesel technology.
Without going into a long treatise on the subject, I assume your
contention is that FICHT is not a true two stroke and as such,
problematic in the long run?

Later,
