Most .91 4strokes are comparable to a .61 2 stroke, or slightly more powerful. The .80s are probably just a bit less that a .61 2 stroke. I would say you hobby shop guy is close.

I think you're right in following there lead. That sounds about right on the 2 to 4 stroke power difference. Not sure on an electric equivalent... Good luck

Hi before you decide to switch,check out the twin forum about a electronic engine sycronizer.It is a unit that automaticly balances your two engine to run the same.And with a flame out the running engine goes to idle instantly.check it out before you drop the big dollers on electrics.the unit cost around $119.00.
