Default RE: DA50- Anybody Having Trouble?

The Majority of 2 stroke high performance Outboard engine will run an oil injection system...at WOT, making full power, using Synthetics, they will normally run in the 100:1 range...with Dirtbike motors, you do have cooling issues to deal with along with longevity issues, this is more likely the reason for more oil...also, true engine testing across 2 different platforms means nothing (comparing dirtbike motor to a 150 CC airplane engine)....Dirtbikes also utilize expansion chamber technology, which also changes the way the engine works to a large degree..apples to oranges here folks...

One thisg to remember, a motor is just an airpump....simple principal here..the more air/fuel you can inject into the motor on a given stroke, the more power you get...with oil taking up room that fuel should be, power is less...
