A very basic question re two-stroke diesels vs. two-stroke Rotax and
others:  Are the diesels just as prone to the problems generally associated
with gas/oil mix two-strokers?  If not, why?  How will Zosche and similar
diesel engines figure into the equation?

On another point, there were numerous complaints regarding the smoothness
of the Franklin two cylinder (60 HP +/-).  What is the feeling about the
BMW in this department?
