Default Re: E-TEC vs Four Stroke

You can get the olders fichts "new" on ebay cheap! no one wants to take a chance on getting one of the bad ones. The rule on those was if you got over 100hrs on it you were all set, if not it blew up and you had a chance of getting a "good" powerhead. What is the weight differance between between the two? if I remember the 150 e tec is close to suzi 140? Its the carbed engines that are nice and light.

The new ficht motors are excellent and have a good reputation of bein reliable, I would look at 2002 or newer. Your right the main issue in many of the newer technology 2 strokes has been with the computer. The Optimax, or Optibomb as they were once called are now very good motors as well. The nice thing is you almost can't go wrong with any of the new motors out today!
