At least the 24 didn’t suffer the indignity of having one of the sumec chondas put on it.
I think part of the issue with them once the 2 stroke went was top rpm. As its 2:1 drive, although you double the torque you struggle with cut – the blade is just too slow.
A 4 stroke motor is spinning at 3200rpm if lucky – that’s 1600rpm at the disc (unless they changed ratio). I don’t own a 24 but I can’t get a decent cut of anything at 1600rpm
With a 2 stroke, they were going at between 3600 up to 4200 allowable on the FC
