Re: Old 2 stroke vs new outboards (2&4) stroke

[reivertom]

I love old OMCs and most any other old timer, but I can’t take anything away from my mid 90s Honda 50hp. I didn’t run it for over 10 years and it sat in the yard covered up. I have this problem selling things I might want to use some day, so there it sat on a boat. Last summer, I fogged the cylinders, pumped up the gas line and it started like I had just shut it down. I don’t know if this is normal, but mine has been a great motor. I just miss the 2 stroke smell though.. :^)
