***** In that case you better get busy, and start producing 4 stroke
brushcutters, chain saws, generators, motor bikes, No perhaps not there
already out there in 4 stroke, just continue all the 2 stroke motor
bike makes..
In your case STUPID is an understatement.

*****The greatest failure of any two stroke motor is seizure, and the
reason is lack of lubrication. Sometimes with catastrophic results.
Consider a 125cc racing bike, locking up solid doing a couple of
hundrud K's . But wait that won't happen again, you've banned all
two strokes. lucky us.
