The exhaust will be smoky. It might not rev as high. If there's a catalytic converter in the exhaust system, this might get damaged. If it's an fuel injected engine with lots electronics, the little brain in charge of the engine might be unhappy with the signals coming from the sensors and shut things down, or at least give an error code.
But the degree of mix will make a huge difference. If the oil gas mix is well diluted with normal 4-stroke fuel it'll probably not be noticeable at all.
it will smoke a bit but not hurt it. maybe if us two much. To much may damage the catalytic converter.
No if it will run on it the spark plug will get dirty quickly and it will smoke a lot other then that it shouldn't do any harm so long as you don't make a habit of it.

A gas only engine has a spout where oil is added to the engine. If there is no spout, then it is a gas/oil engine. FYI - gas only engine is a four-stroke (four-cycle) engine and the gas/oil engine is two-stroke (two-cycle).
What happens to a 4 stroke motor running on 2 stroke gas?
just like a car if a car burns oil it puts out blue smoke. the same thing will happin if you put 2 stroke gas in a 4 stroke engine. in time it will cause your 4 stroke engine to wear faster and it wont last long and you will be replacing the spark plug alot and i mean alot.
Do you add oil to the gas on a 4 hp Briggs and stratton?
No you do not put oil in the gas - 4 hp Briggs & Stratton motors are 4 stroke, not 2 stroke in which you do have to add oil to the gas.

There is no oil to change in a two stroke engine. The lubricant is the oil that is mixed with the gas.
Do you add oil to the gas of your Sears snowblower?
That would depend on whether the engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke (aka 2-cycle & 4-cycle). If the engine does not have an oil filler tube, it is a 2-stroke and oil must be added to the fuel. If it has an oil filler tube, it is a 4-stroke and oil is added through the filler tube.
Do you mix oil and gas in a four stroke engine?
Usually no.
Can one distinguish 2 stroke from 4 stroke gas?
Two stroke gas is just regular gas with oil added. The oil is usually green in color and therefore tints the gas green. The ratio of oil to gas is specified by the engine manufacturer.
