You mean 2si? Formerly Cayuna?

You're joking, I hope. The 2SI is legendary - and not in any sort of
GOOD way!!

Not only that, 2SI no longer makes or supports their aviation engine product
line.

I guess what you're saying is that it is worthless, huh? Too bad.
I was looking to buy a Challenger with the 70 H.P. version.

Whether it is good or not won't make a difference if you can't find parts...

They are now concentrating on their defense contracts making multifuel
utility engines.

I have had a lot of experience with the 690L70. It made terrific low
and mid range power and was fuel efficient. It drastically out
performed anything rated close to 70 hp. All their water cooled engines
have lots of common parts whether they are labelled aircraft related or
not.
I had a number of issues with the ignition system. It by nature
needs a high cranking speed to start. It cannot be rope cranked.
If that were fixed I would use nothing else. It made about 55-60 hp
at 4500 rpm. I still have mine.

I used it in a hovercraft. I mainly race them these days and needing
a heavy battery on board is very bad in that context.
