Got my Felt MP Saturday, so now I'm thinking about what motor to add. First build, so I'm looking for simple installation, minimal headaches, and reliability.
From what I've read 2 strokes are noisier, less efficient, and wear out faster. On the other hand, 4 strokes are bulkier, more expensive, and produce less hp/cc.
Am I correct about this?
I'm also not clear on ignition systems. I've seen 4 strokes with pull starters and 2 strokes that start while riding. Is this true of all of them or can you get 4 strokes that start while riding? My preference would be to have an engine that starts while riding by just releasing the clutch.
Sorry if these are stupid questions. I'm completely new to this.
