e-tec 90
January 30 2006, 3:08 AM

I tried the 2005 90 e-Tec. By my 4 stroke standards it was louder,
smokier and far less economical. It also stumbles at speed and the
dealer could not fixit. I got rid of it pronto and bought a 70 hp Suzuki
which moves my 17' whaler at almost the same speed.


The unfixable "stumbles" anyone remember the same complaints about
Ficht?? then they told everyone it was fixed??? Hmmm same story???

Just a suggestion but is that at the end of the lean mode?? around
2000rpm?? hmmm could it be detonation, for the hugely lean poorly
atomised mixture or maybe the continuously firing spark or maybe it's
just the 2 stroke fairies???
