WOT is 39 mph at 5200 rpms at 17gph netting out about 2.2 mpg. I run a 17 pitch
3 blade aluminum prop that is in mint condition. I also have a pretty stout hardtop
With rigging that creates some wind resistance. My motor is a 1988, but has a newer
Powerhead (1998) with about 500 hours on it.
Those are some good numbers... I was suspecting somewhere between 2 and 2.2, but 2.7 that would be awesome. I'm guessing that's a carbed engine?

I know the these older 2 strokes are thirsty engines, but the budget is what it is, unless Lotto hits the 2 smoker will have to get me there.

J241600, Is yours an 0x66?
