Does this engine require mix gas? - Garden

Is the engine a two-cycle or four-cycle? A two-cycle engine requires oil to be mixed with the fuel to lubricate the piston/rings/crankshaft/rod top and bottom bearing/main bearings.
A four-cycle doesn't require it. (A four cycle has valves in the head)

does the engine take oil? if it does then it is a 4 stroke and does not require mixed gas. if it doesn't have its own oil then it is a 2 stroke and requires mixed

I'm sure you must use mixed gas. Some newer engines require very lean mixture 100:1 and too rich it may not even run 40:1 . So you may require someone with specific knowlage of your model

The answer is that ALL 2-stroke engines requires that you mix oil with the gas. ALL 4-stroke engines do not take oil in the gas. So the simple answer is if there is no place to add oil, then you have to mix oil in the gas - not the same kind of oil though! I don't know this particular model, but I have never seen a 4-stroke wearable leaf-blower. The kind on wheels could be either, but most (maybe all) are 4-stroke.

I cannot find any literature on your mower, but I'm guessing it has a 4 stroke Brigg's engine on it. If so, then there is no gas/oil mix requirement. The only engine's where you mix gas and oil are 2 stroke engines, which are not installed on most of today's mowers. There should be a separate place on your mower to put gas and oil in. If so, then you should probably run straight 30 weight oil in it and do not overfill it or you'll ruin your engine. I hope this helps. James.

Normally these days on 2 stroke engines you put fuel into the tank directly and then you should also have a reservoir for your oil mix on the LH side cover. The system will mix the required fuel to oil mix themselves. Good enough?

Yours is not a current model and I did not find a manual. The following is an excerpt from a 26cc MightyLite Blower/Vac UT08550/UT08951 "Operator's Manual":

Gasoline-powered chainsaws use a two-cycle engine (requiring mixing of oil and gas). Mobility and power are the main advantages of gas. Disadvantages include the bother and smell of mixing oil and gas, pull cord starting and the additional overall maintenance needed. Electric saws are great for smaller yard chores. They're quieter than their gas-powered cousins, lightweight, easy to start and require less maintenance. However, they have less power than gasoline-powered saws. They also add the bother of dragging a cord around behind you.
