I actually in ways do prefer two strokes. I love the "hit' they give, however, for my application, I probably need to stick to the four strokes. As you said, I would need at least 500cc or better. I figure, you need twice the cc's on a four stroke to equal the power of the two stroke (although...

Yes, and where the noise (and power) come from on two strokes is actually the expansion chamber (pipe). If I modified that at all, I would lose all of the high end power the two stroke engine makes. I am an A.S.E. certified mechanic, and I have owned/built many cars and dirt bikes from the...

The two stroke engine is old, tired, and really loud. I thought about doing a Yamaha phazer four stroke engine conversion, but there is hardly anything available on that swap. Then I see people who have electric go karts, and figured I would look into that also. My Odyssey is actually legally...
