Huh, I thought most of them were two stroke.
- Spooky23 6y agoNot for a long time. My cheap Walmart Murray was like $75 and is a fairly efficient four stroke, but is incredibly weak with the emissions tech and awful engine!
- toxik 6y agoI guess it’s a question of where you live. I meant the actual lawnmowers people use rather than what is on the shelves today - I have only seen oily old two-strokers around me. Also I thought low power gasoline engines were more efficient, but I guess they tend not to have any catalytic converters
- bostonpete 6y agoAll two-stroke engines require a gasoline/oil mix, AFAIK? I've used a dozen or so lawnmowers going back 40 years and don't think I've ever used one that required a mix...
- toxik 6y agoThat’s correct. I had a scooter in Asia that took oil in the fuel port just a couple years ago.
- ip26 6y agoI'm not certain, but I think the inconvenience of premix in two strokes tipped the market to four strokes mowers.
