Just to get some information I've been googling what it would take to get that epa certification and I can't seem to find the link that details the actual steps.
I do recall it costing a substantial amount of money.
Here's the thing though.
Yes,those Happy Times it would be hard to please the EPA but I don't exactly see right now them getting hard on equipment we already own.
So how does one get their engine to be compliant?
I have to be honest here and say that right now the epa isn't exactly up on our throats but that may be different tomorrow.
That cat muffler won't clog if you use a 2 stroke oil that won't jam it up. Castor oil would be a definite no no. And you wouldn't want to over oil your mixture. But the very fact that it is HERE should tell EVERYONE that someone somewhere in China is trying to get this done. China already have EPA compliant engines otherwise you won't be seeing these in ATV's and such sold all over the flea markets and malls. Funny how you don't see bike engines though. But this muffler tells me it's just around the corner.
Now I did read in some of my googling that the EPA won't mess with small equipment we already own but is cleaning up equipment waiting to be sold.
So this tells me that right now we are okay and when we are not okay that only applies to anything we buy new and we can keep what we already have.
Someone correct me here. I really want to know just what it takes here to get this done. And is it the responsibility of the manufacturers of the engines that we buy that is responsible for compliancy or can anyone get an engine certified? And if one person gets a certain make of an engine certified does that mean that all models of the same engine is automatically certified or is it per engine?
Somebody clear the air here no pun intended!
