2 or 4 stroke or cycle engine

It's a 2-stroke, which is what I understand is the best for small equipment. The fuel is a mixture of gas and oil.

Stay with what the manufacture recommends. I used these in a 2 stroke engine and had very poor results.

The lower end models are still two cycle, the one I bought is 4 stroke which is just gasoline. Which means there is a tiny bit of oil in a crank case you have to watch for no mixing of gas and oil.

Sorry Donald S., I have know idea what a 2 cycle engine is. It seems to work pretty good though. One of my guy friends fixed the wheel for me so that turned out good. I have about a half acre to mow and it plows right through the grass with no problem. It seems to be pretty good on gas too. If it weren't self propelled though, I would never be able to finish the lawn. The key starter works like a charm too. Sorry I can't help you more.

My guess is two stroke. I have two of these but have not used them yet. Its for emergency purposes. For the price and number of positive reviews I feel good about the purchase

It would take too much effort and it would never be as reliable as a Honda engine..but get one that is at least 250cc

I'm using 30 weight oil. The unit is NOT a 2 stroke engine that burns a mix of oil and gas. The oil is for lubrication only.

when I bought it I phoned the seller and he checked that there is a setting on the back for 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines. I set it to the two stroke setting. It works on my 130 2 stroke Johnson so it will work on yours no problem. Also pretty accurate and very easy to install and all you need including the bracket are in the box. Hope this helps you out.

The Lucas oil octane booster is good for cars, but I doubt it is good for 2 stroke engines. Your best bet might be to try Royal Purple synthetic 2 stroke oil. It is an excellent product. Contact Royal Purple directly and they can give you some insight on what to use.

It will do a 2 cylinder 4 stroke. It has a menu selection in the tach setup for a 2 stroke but the RPM's do not change when it is selected and I don't have a 2 stroke to try it on but it does work on the 2 cylinder 4 stroke.

I use Yamalube generator oil, it is not a two stroke, the oil and gas are separate.

It is a two cycle. You add oil to the gas only. It's best if you mix it rich for the first few hours. I use it for running my sander and dremel tools and it works fine. A little hard to start at first. But runs fine for the price.

If I remember right from last year when I set it up for a 2 cylinder 28hp mower, you keep clicking up button until 1-2-4-6-8 cylinders, and you can toggle from 2cy to 4 cycle.

This is a 4-cycle engine, not a 2-cycle.That means no mixing oil with gas---you fill the oil pan like you do with your car.Instructions and a funnel are included. You use regular car oil--there is a chart for oil weight vs. temperatures.Cheap 10w30 is good for most purposes. I used a 5w40 synthetic oil because we are most likely to lose power in the winter, when its below freezing.

Yes. From product description: "Max-Clean can be used in both 4-cycle and 2-cycle engines." The size of the engine should not be a factor as long as you adjust the amount you use accordingly.
