    2-Cycle clutches?

    Benefits of running a 2-cycle carb?

    i see a lot of racing engines using carberators off of 2-cycle dirt bike or ATV engines, and some off of even chainsaw engines. is there a certain benefit to running a 2-cycle carb on a 4-cycle engine? and what do they have that is better for performance?
