RE: Replacing a 46 ax with 4 stroke
a good rule of thumb on 2st-4st comparisons is move up 20 in engine size when going with a 4stroke, for comparable power a 70 4st engine is about equal to a 46AX in power.
you also going to need a little more power since the 4st is a bit heavier than the AX as well, got to love the low end torque of a 4st engine
