For goverment class in school we are writing bills. I am looking at making a bill dealing with the stroke of an outboard. What I can tell 2 strokes cause more harm to the environment, are lighter, faster, require oil, and are cheaper. Then 4 strokes are heavier, don't take oil, a little slower, and cost more. I am also looking at something to do with requiring motors to be fuel injected mechanically, instead of by air flow to help prevent energy waste. Am I right so far? Are their any requirements where you live on the motor that can be used? Thanks for the help.

Will, check out the above website.  It deals with a proposed bill in CA dealing with the same subject.  Hope it helps.  I found by the following  google search "two stroke engines in California".

Good luck!
