Yes they are way easier. They are pretty much tuned out of the box and with a small bit of tweaking they will perform like a champ every time for gallons and gallons regardless of weather conditions. If you find the plug fouls you may have to lean your gas mix to 28 to 1 or 32 to 1 and or lean your needles a bit. But once your tuned in you don’t have to touch it. They don’t run hot and they start in a couple of pulls and idle every time even if you haven’t run it in months.
