Why did they give up on two-strokes?

An other issue with a 4 stroke chainsaw besides power to weight is can a 4 stroke be run at any position or angle like upsidedown?
My 4 stroke Honda outboard motor can only be transported in two positions or oil runs from the crank into the valves and its has to sit a long while to start up again.

my 4 stroke weed wacker has a diaphram carb- makes no difference how I turn it.

A chainsaw needs a lot more power then a weed wacker to do its job.
I have a newer 2hp Honda outboard 4 stroke and to just make that little power it needs 57cc of displacement.
A 2stroke 2hp is 40cc in comparison .
By the time a 4stoke chainsaw has the power to get the job done you could end up with a 200cc 50lb monster in your hands.

When looking for my first couple ATVs I did not want a two stroke. Then this year a Polaris Trailboss 250 fell into my lap. It is now my favorite ATV. The 2 stroke power is much better than what my Honda Fourtrax 300 has. I love how this machine can break the rear end out easily in a turn. I'd like a Polaris 400 4x4 model.

Lots of stuff can be done to open them up. Externally, different pipe, better flowing air filter and a simple spring change on the clutch.
Check with Rick Ritter and he can get you all the stuff you'll need. Depending on the depth of your pockets, you can build a pretty quick machine.
Just wish it had a better suspension on the front.
