< What do alcohol burning model airplane engines have to do with gasoline
burning marine engines?>
Nothing... the issue originally was that of the cooling (if any) of a
two-stroke engineas imparted by the inducted charge. I had prefaced my
remarks by indicating what I had to say was in the main derived from model
aircraft technology but I felt that this information should be applicable to
marine engines..
Somehow I got diverted from that narrow proposition to a general comparison
of two stroke vs 4 stroke engines particuraly as it relates to the problem
of efficiently coupling their outputs(s) to a fluid.
Sadly, that's something that does not occur with outboards hanging on
sailboats.
