Wonder if that would apply to the older carbed 2-strokes, like my 2004 XR6?

The difference between a DFI 2-stroke and a conventional carburated or EFI 2-stroke is that the oil is NOT mixed with the gasoline. Other than a small recirculation loop, there is no gas/oil mixture flowing through the crankcase in a DFI outboard. It's mostly air with oil injected right at the critical lubrication points. An air/oil stream flows into the combustion chamber, again, not really mixing with gasoline. So with a cheap oil, you have an increased chance of carbon deposits. So I would have to say no Erik.Originally posted by gnfsnva View PostWonder if that would apply to the older carbed 2-strokes, like my 2004 XR6?Crank That Jank!

Sux, Larry - I agree. I had a 2006 Pro XS on my Tr 21X. Never heard a word from them on that either. A lil bit of good news perhaps - Harbin Marine sells the DFI in bulk and it's lots cheaper than paying for the by-the-jug option. Know it's a haul from Warrenton but it'll be closer when you're on the riva.sigpic

Yes sir. Always buy in bulk. I can get it there or at Anna Point Boat sales when I'm down there. Thanks.2013 Frog Only Tournament Winner
