I'm not scientifically sure on that......but I do know that most large engines that run 2-stroke have a "full speed" operating rpm of like 950, and idle at like 250-300ish. There's got to be a reason....unless its just because they're so big....perhaps a small engine like a 240 could run faster. No idea. Anyone?
