Default YS engine to Gas???
Some strange thought.
Just wonder if anyone had attempted the conversion of YS 4 strokes?
With the crankcase 'supercharge' and fuel injection ..... I can forsee quite a challenging conversion.
Is it possible at all??

ANY engine can be converted to gas...You would have to see if the parts of the supercharge mechanism are compatible with gasoline....Any silicone parts will not work at all, it turns to mush in gasoline...

The diaphragm in the regulator in the Y-S is made of silicone so guess what.
