Found an LX 150 2012 so is the short-stroke engine with carburetor.

The price seems OK. Should I wait a bit longer and see if a 3v appears?

Is there really that much real-world difference? Other than I have a camshaft for a 3v!

Pre leader engine ET4 150 has the most power. Leader engine has less, 3v has even less.

So it depends on if you want to save the planet and save on fuel, or just want to go fast.

The 2012 LX150 has Fuel Injection and not a carburetor. So that's a plus for many people.

My stock Primavera 3v has the seat of the pants feel of the 190 lx.
