The OPE industry is 30 years behind the emission standards of the auto, and power sports
industries. 

Good.

my view... both good and bad.

think 2T technology is mostly driven by changes in emissions standards.  seems the consumer ends up paying for the r&d.

don't want 2T's to go away, turning chainsaw GTG's into "olde tyme steam and engine shows" at the local county fairgrounds.  the tech advances keep 2T's alive??

big orange for example, just published a patent, (not thier's exactly, a bought patent license), for direct injection technology for hand held equipment.  i for one think this tech is interesting.  the ease (joke), of the way patents get granted these days without needing a working example (prototype) will most likely fuel the other manufacturers to come out with thier own DI with slight changes shortly (if they have not done so already).

link to recent 2014 here:

IMO, this kind of tech helps keep 2T's alive.
