Inspecting 2002 Tracker 125 HP Outboard

I do not believe that the 4 cylinder 2+2 was meant for extended trolling.

Well why is it built like no other 2 stroke engine?

A new idea to gain market share.

How is it built like no other 2 strk? All they did was take the idle circuit out of the carb, Hardly groundbreaking. More than likely an attempt at lowering emissions and improving idle quality.

Agreed---There is nothing special about this motor.---Very little fuel goes into the lower 2 cylinders at less than 1800 RPM.-----Not a setup / motor I would trust for long term low RPM operation.

I will disagree with the trolling aspect. I know a lot of people who have trolled with those and have no issues.

Tuned intake or exhaust systems do have sharp up and down change points.

".........and improving idle quality." Ha! My '88 I6 tower of power was the smoothest idler I ever bought! It also liked to run at 6k RPM.

All I said was they did it to improve idle quality in that motor. What your I6 has to do with anything is beyond me. But it seems to have your undies in a bunch.
