What is a 4 stroke outboard?

Combustion piston engines can have two different work cycles, 2-stroke and 4-stroke. 2-stroke tends to have a better power to weight ratio, but pollute more. A 4-stroke outboard is simply an outboard engine that works the same way as a car engine.

What kind of oil do you put in lawn mowers - 2 stroke or 4 stroke?

Almost all lawn mowers are 4 stroke engines that use regular gasoline (no additives except maybe some StaBil when you store it for winter) and ordinary motor oil, the same used in cars in the crankcase. Usually you would put 10W30 or 10W40 in their crankcases. Briggs and Stratton engines are on most lawn mowers, though Tecumseh is also common. Some have Honda small engines. I suppose two stroke lawn mowers exist but they are the vast minority. You do not add 2-stroke oil to the gas like a chain saw or weed eater. If the mower does happen to be a 2-stroke, I'm certain it would be plainly labeled, probably on the gas cap.

What is the fuel mix ratio for a 1984 Suzuki LT50?

50:1 is what we use in ours same mix in my outboard on the boat http://macswildboarpage.blogspot.com/ 50:1 isn't enough oil for these engines. Outboard motors run cooler since they are water cooled and may tolerate less oil. If you are using a very high line synthetic oil, then 40:1 is best, If you use a traditional 2 stroke oil (like from penzoil or made for a chain saw) use 32:1.
