2 stroke engine...lawnmower engine

I'll offer a second opinion: any utility engines used for driving equipment such as mowing, shredding, concrete mixing, or other uses that is smaller than what one would consider suitable for powering a car is a small engine.

The four cylinder Wisconsin that powers a farmer's baler is a small engine, as is the 5 horsepower single cylinder Briggs & Stratton that came on your portable generator. Or the little two-stroker on your weed wacker.

Most small engines are air-cooled, but the International Harvester small engine that powers the Ferris Wheel at the summer carnival is water-cooled, so small engines can be water cooled too.

Wouldn't really matter if it was 2 stroke or 4 stroke. Each has advantages.
