Re: OT a little 2 cycle Vs 4cycle
The Poster was not asking about chain saws, or motorbike engines,
but why two cycles couldn't be use on a larger scale. And that answer
again is pollution: http://www.dieselnet.com/standards/us/light.html and
diesel-powered cars are banned in California:
http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosins.../C02-51826.htm As an
owner operator I've adjusted the rack and changed the buttons on every
tractor I've driven, even did a few in frames on my trucks:

http://www.----------.com/white.jpg

I bet you can't tell me what a button or rack is!

They stink, they smell bad, and they smoke. They have a bitch of a time
passing the smog laws of pretty much everywhere, and they stink, smell bad,
and smoke. Mixing gas and oil is not biggie, the major manufacturers figured
out a very long time ago how to meter the oil into the fuel supply, so the
operator simply adds gas to one tank and oil to another, and the rest
magicly happens all by itself. But, none of this gets around the stench, the
stink, and the smell. Then, there's the noise.

They're using the two cycle tone ringer for cell phones in Europe.

Where do you mix the oil in a cell phone?
