Yeah, these have carburetors, distributors and you premix the gas and oil. The later models use alternator driven ignition systems.

The V6 is a great motor, you might want to check out the Scream & Fly site.
Those are a whole lot simpler than this EFI motor with it's oil mixing system.

In fact, a lot of the discussion I have read on them has been about discarding the oil system and going to pre mixing the oil/gas.

I was very tempted to do that, but seem to have it working right now. This is boat number eleven for me but only my second two stroke. I will say this though, it does have some serious power at WOT.
