Anybody that thinks a carbureted two stroke is more reliable than a fuel injected four stroke is smoking some good stuff. They might be lighter and easier to work on but the trade off is that you do have to constantly work on them.

My post was in jest but the fact shouldn’t be lost that those claiming two strokes are so reliable are on a thread started about another broken down two stroke.

Everything else is arguable, but four strokes have brought a huge leap in reliability to outboards.
