Default 2 stroke engines

Hi All,

thank you all for your response to my question. it seems to me any one about
to buy a 2 stroke engine, should think very carefully as they may left with
a usless piece of equipment. there are still 2 stroke engines for sale in
U.K. even though government must know they are to be phased out. any one
reading this in the U.K. be warned this govenment will leave you in the
lurch, as they did when you had to scrap your car with the unleaded affair

I really don't see it as a problem. We've had unleaded gas (petrol)
here in the US for a loooooooooooooooooong time and I see no end in
sight for 2 strokes. They definately serve a niche market. I also
don't see a problem with oil either. Even if they got rid of "2
stroke" oil, I'd just use regular oil. We used it in a Poulan chainsaw
for quite a while when we were in a remote area cutting and ran out of
2 cycle oil and it ran just fine.
