[stude13]

WOW----stihl has come out with an engine called--4mix fuel lubricated 4stroke engine. it does this with 2stroke mix. i read about it at kneeslider. it is a weed whacker engine. i dont have specs. but it could be transformative in our hobby. mitch

Whats the advantage except being able to tilt the engine any angle and still get luberaction. Does it make more Power than a stright 4 Stroke ??
Sounds like it's worth looking into , might be a new trend !!!!!

as compared to a normal 4stroke it is lighter. compared to 2strokes they produce more torque, less noise and are carb compliant. arent these pluses as far our needs go?
