Josh,
I just have such a fondness for 2 stroke engines… All of my young, formative memories are in a boat with a small Evinrude spitting smoke and oil fumes out the back. Riding snowmobiles was another enjoyable pastime (all 2 strokes too). Nothing smelled better than Klotz synthetic 2 stroke oil. It had a real pungent smell. I would like to find some and put it in my weed wacker, string trimmer, and chain saw. At least it would smell good while I was working.

How long before campfires and grilling out get declared as being more environmentally hazardous than all the cars in California? What about exhaling CO2.... Stop breathing? The biggest problem with 2-cycle engines is that they discharge oil in their exhaust. That oil has been engineered to break down in the environment. Modern companies are engineering 2-cycle oils to provide better lubrication at lower concentrations. Amsoil makes marine and regular 2-cycle oil which they recommend at 100:1 in ALL engines. Its almost hard to believe. I use it and the nice thing is that you really don't smell the 2-cycle exhaust which is so expected. There's no blue cloud when I use my outboard or any of my yard tools.
