RE: Reliability or Performance
G'day
If I were offered the choice of those two motors, I would make the same choice you did. They are both great engines but the OS would be my choice for it is simplicity and therefore, greater reliability.
That said, in the right hands, and with the right maintenance, the YS would be quite reliable too. But my hands are not the right hands for a YS. I'll stick to Saito, Laser, Enya and OS. Without pumps.
Enjoy.
