Why are these two stroke engines so notoriously unreliable?
Thoughts? Experience?

My personal perception of 2strokes as installed on a DG400 and a
DG600M, is of very good to excellent reliability. Never a problem with
the single cylinder 600, a few problems with the 400 (carb needle
valves, HT wires).

I have no first hand experience, but I was under the impression that the
simplicity of the sustainer engines (no starter, etc) means that they
are quite reliable, if only because there is not much that can break.
