> 5 mpg out of my 4hp 2 stroke

Sincerest congrats on the new addition! If you get discouraged, know
that I was once a single parent & I'd like nothing better than to raise
another wee one -- if someone else would pay for college [ :-) ]. Best
time of your life coming up!

That mileage # seems a bit low. I had a 4 hp Yamaha that was yielding
about 10 nautical miles per gallon. The newer, 4 cycle Honda 5 seems to
be giving 13-15 nm/gal.
