It pays to review past postings! You 've given me some great leads to fixing my 2cycle. They are sensitive cars indeed. If one was to inquire how it is to drive one of theses cars, hesistation will most likely prevail. I love the sound of the 2cycle, but sometimes in certain situations, I wouldn't rather hear her voice. I'm constantly popping the bonnet to make SURE everything is okay as those noises makes one wonder sometimes if the engine is groovy. The oil with the gas? Nice feature to me, but sometimes one doesn't feel like going to the autoparts store to grab some expensive oil. The two stoke is peppy, but sometimes one would like a little more oooph without the ping pong balls ringing, But at other times that same sound have me laughing like an jackass. As for top speed, I'm not sure..but I dont bring it above 60 mph even though it feels like a mash more. My friends tell me dont bring it above 60, so I dont know the top speed on these cars, despite reviewing articles stating 80mph. I enjoy the simplicity and the major worry I have is about seizure of the engine. But if one mix the proper oil/gas..how can she seize?

The freewheel? hmmm, I like it, but sometimes dont for it feels like a roller coaster..ease off and the thing is still rapidly rolling. Oh Gosh! press those shitty brakes fast...oh wow! press them harder before you run the front end into that elephant SUV's rear! I must say I have had some scary situations with those drum brakes(I couldn't believe my eyes could open so wide)

So there you have it you crazy Saabers. The 2stroke is tempermental and works well when your temper matches it's mood.
