Currently they are, depending on model:

  • Manufacturing the engines to tighter ttolerances (better)
  • Recirculating crankcase gasses into the engine (PCV) like on an Auto engine
  • Building the Carburetors as "Lean" as possible to reduce certain pollutants
  • Manufacturing the Carburetors so they can not be adjusted
  • Discontinuing manufacturing 2 stroke engines
  • Reducing the number of model engines to ensure the volume of manufacturing required to keep these engines cost effective considering the higher manufacturing costs.
  • Developing cleaner "MINI four stroke" engines

In the future the job gets tougher as California will require Catalytic converters on the exhaust.
