This is a copy of a post off of another board made Dr. Gordon P. Blair. Blair is widely regarded as one of the most knowledgable two stroke guys in the world.
"yes, I published a paper along with Mr Gustafsson of Husqvarna (chainsaws in Sweden) at the SAE/SETC meeting in Pisa last year (November) on the use of a very, very, compact tuned system for a 2-stroke leaf-blower engine which improved the power by some 10% but brought the fuel consumption down by some 30% and the unburned hydrocarbon emissions down by a factor of 4 so that it could meet EPA emissions legislation without a catalysts yet still using a simple carburetter."
This bodes well for the future of twos trokes and I just might become a huskyman if something like this becomes available in a saw.
