Yes

Back then you mixed two cycle oil like a chain saw into the gas tank

Too rich and it would smoke

Extremely quick

I’ve got a KTM 85 dirt bike two stroke .for my kids ...it’ll run circles around a 175 four stroke....up to around 65-70 mph

Tear it up and almost run with a 250 in quickness

I love two strokes

Same with old go fast boat outboards

The Honda CR500 was Unbeatable off road. Still is. The 450 4strokes are jokes in comparison. Way way down on power and so expensive with short engine lives.

Thanks for that!

I remember “adjusting the mix”(air & fuel) when I attempted to fly a helicopter (my gift to myself on my 55th B-Day). It’s a lot more complicated than just gassing up.
