"I posted on the V saab line."
True. And you mentioned watercraft and lawnmowers, but not SAABs, which muddied the waters to my simple understanding of what was your point.
"Observation on the likely the end of new 2 stroke sales.."
Well, 2-stroke sales have been extinct in automobiles for a long time, certainly in the US and worldwide as far as I know. You may still drive your 2-stroke SAAB or watercraft or lawnmower or whatever, legally, as long as it is configured as sold (US regs, I cannot speak for other jurisdictions).
To the best of my understanding, regulations that affect 2-stroke sales are emissions performance regs that in no way restrict 2-strokes. The regs say that certain emissions specifications must be met. If you can make a 2-stroke that meets the specs, go for it. Unfortunately, 2-strokes of the smaller sizes like mowers, weedeaters, watercraft, & cars are by nature notoriously polluting compared to 4-strokes.
They have certain advantages, generally, such as higher power-to-weight ratio and simple construction. They have certain disadvantages, generally, such as higher pollution and higher fuel consumption.
As environmental concern for pollution mounts, 2-strokes that have not been traditionally regulated have come under increasing concern. How this has evolved is a whole nother lecture that I will not undertake here.

With all due respect Don, to a post as incoherent as yours I don't think my question "What is your point?" is inappropriate and I will stand by it.
"Are there FI V/4's"
Do you mean Fuel Injected V4s? Yes there are, I have never seen one but know of them from this board.
"and air pumps and cats and tank purge valves and check engine valve Vintage bulletin posts I missed on the bulletin board?'
Probably.
"The low down on carbs last week must have been rough for some of us to listen to.
Please direct me to what that low down is, I wasn't there.
