Very Nice job. A friend of mine did some trouble shooting for OMC thru the years and from what I was told and read, they had a very hard time syncing the carbs
on the V-8s even at the R&D end of it, let alone at the dealer and user end.

Rotax powered!

Probably ETEC too = Fuel injected as piston near TDC. Still oil injected not as much need though... not sure how that works without seizing

Call Bombardier (think they own Rotax now) and see if they'll stick one of these etec (twin) engines in a 2 wheel bike and if not why not? Boat engines have tough emissions law maybe not as tough as some state for road legal vehicles.

Boat engines are probably some the most powerful and popular 2 stroke engines made. Seems like most of them had liquid cooled exhaust and did not rely on expansion chamber to boost power? Not sure for never cut into outboard exhaust systems. The other very cool sounding 2 stroke engine is the diesel version, a dinosaur enjoy its 2 stroke sound ->

Had a couple other boat engine sounds but can't find now

I love sound of 4 strokes, but 2 strokes are simply unique and must survive!
