RE: 4 Stroke vs. 2 Stroke Maintenance
The four strokes have the valves that should be looked after.
What I'm seeing is that a lot of people are not looking after them and the will have something damaged about the valve train after several years use. They will drop a valve or have extensive wear about the cam and lifters. These problems appear to be from excessive valve clearance in the engines I have repaired.
Enjoy,
