i know spookytooth engine kits can run for 2000+ miles without needing a rebuild, and i believe thats a 66cc, and still get 100mpg. Would a 2 stroke in perfect state of tune really be that bad? the motor will probably only operate within 1000 rpms at all times, so i could tune the carb and work on pressure wave tuning through a pipe for very specific rpms. I found small 2 strokes for sale for as little as 10 bucks, but also found a honda 4 stroke for 160, not prohibitive cost wise at all. I had 2 of those 30cc 4 stroke motors laying around in the past
