the easiest way to determine a 2 stroke from a 4 is if it has an oil reservoir in the engine for motor oil it is a 4 stroke, if it requires oil in the gas then it is a 2. also some 2 strokes will have an auto mix with a reservoir for the 2 cycle oil and another for the gas and it will mix the 2 on its own
