My point is though that they have made a reliable and efficent fuel injected system for two strokes. They have reduced emmisions and made more power without a carburator. Of course, we don't need to whine about the price of bikes when a new 225 Evinrude will set you back $13,000.00!!!!

Question... how does oil get past the lower ring to lubricate the skirt in that PM engine?

I don't really know but I guess there is just enough oil held in the tiny grooves (cylinder surface finish) made when the cylinder was honed to size.

Hmmm not sure how that would hold up after you take a dive in a stream!
