Question: How do I tell if my engine is a two-cycle or a four-cycle engine?
Answer: A 2-cycle (sometimes referred to as a 2-stroke) engine utilizes pre-mixed fuel and oil to burn and lubricate the engines internal parts simultaneously. There is no separate oil reservoir on a 2-cycle engine.
A 4-cycle (sometimes referred to as a 4-stroke) engine has a separate oil lubrication reservoir and fuel tank. For operation of this engine, these fluids work separately and are not mixed at any time.
