If any confirmation were needed after OMC, that low pressure DFI using

in their execution of basically the same idea, extremely lean mixtures
at low revs fired directly around the spark plug even just to get
ignition (in ficht like systems they even have to just leave the plug
firing!!:-)) Yet they both suffered way too high failure rates for
consumer usage, gee they'd be too unreliable even as specialty race
engines.

What "failure rate" statistics can you cite to back up your claim that
the engines "suffered way too high failure rates for
consumer usage"? Legitimate statistics, please, backed up by some sort
of legitimate science, not your usual crap you extrapolate from reading
about three incidents that took place on a hot day in August on an
unnamed lake and involving three guys working their way through a keg
and bloodworms spread on crackers.


AH AH AH the liar Krause is supposed to have me filtered:-)

The net was full of horror stories about Optimax a few years ago even
this NG has sad owners looking for any sort of answers they could get.

Gee even one of your "star" OMC dealers from the deep north told this NG
he knew of warehouses full of blown Optimax powerheads!!!:-) Love it!!!
I really do. What are you now suggesting Krause?? just because you're a
total liar then this particular OMC dealer is also a liar???? Gee how
the liar worm has turned.

The best evidence is the new 4 strokes & the fact Brunswick are not
going any further, the Optimaxes are dead not as dead as ficht & it's
derivatives but dead is dead. Brunswick atr one stage were lodging
copious patents for "improvements" & not one of them has been put
through to production (some were pretty obvious, like the belt driven
pump, the plumbing etc) so they don't want to throw any more good money
after a failed technology either.

Seems there is only one know person here who still does:-)

& the Krause lie for today is his Vietnam lie, the one he concocted when
in a fit of jealousy that John was a true patriot & served his country
like a real man, while socialist scum like Krause cowed behind their
lies back in the safety of their unions.


Just to make your day, not only was
I a civilian employee in SE Asia, it was in Vietnam, it was
during the
war against Vietnam, I did see some horrific sights and I was
working at
the time for a U.S. general. Is that straightforward enough for you,
John, or is your amoeba still chasing your synapse
