Is sthe engine a four stroke engine

I have to confess I am not sure...it takes gas and oil in different tanks, so I think it is NOT a two stroke- I know it works BEAUTIFULLY and it was shipped with Amazon Prime ( I am a member at ~$80/yr) for FREE! I would buy it again- cleared a lot of brush and chipped it all up to about 1 &1/2" diameter, might have handled larger but I also have a burn pile, so I figured, why kill the chipper?

Richard...I purchased the model 120000 and really like what I have experienced with usage. The stroke is 2.200(205cc) Briggs and Stratton and is California(CARB) approved.

The engine is from a third party. Easiest way to be sure is to call Patriot Products at 1-800-798-CHIP, their customer service hotline (8-5 CST M-F except holidays). I found their staff to be very friendly & helpful.

Yes, as it runs on "STRAIGHT" gasoline and has a separate reservoir for the oil.

This is the engine: Briggs and Stratton 6.5 Gross HP* Single Single Cylinder. yes.

Hi Richard: We use the Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine. There is no mixing of gas and oil. It is a four stroke engine with low oil allert, large air filter and extra quiet exhaust. It comes with a three year warranty.

My guess is two stroke. I have two of these but have not used them yet. Its for emergency purposes. For the price and number of positive reviews I feel good about the purchase

No cookie-cutter answer. In fact they change with time, temp & altitude. Set idle (L) slightly richer than for max rpm with throttle stop set for speed below clutch engagement. Takes a few go-rounds for that. Set high-speed (H) so that engine 2-strokes* under load @WOT in cut, but starts to 4-stroke* when yout lift the bar slightly. Typically set a touch richer for winter, leaner for summer.*- easily researched, fundamental to know. Clue: "4-stroking" means "sounds asthmatic" "2-stroking" not.

Piston cycles up for a compression stroke, down for the power stroke, up for the exhaust stroke and down for the intake stroke, making four stokes in all. Typically an engine which has oil in the base, not mixed in the fuel.

We haven't received it yet, but yes, it is a 2 stroke and will require mixing the oil with has.

No this has a four stroke motor it uses straight regular unleaded gas. The crank case uses 10w40

Though my application is for an 8 cylinder, I do remember seeing in the instructions there are settings for 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 cylinder engines, which are reached by a "cylinder setting" button on the back of the tach.

when I bought it I phoned the seller and he checked that there is a setting on the back for 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines. I set it to the two stroke setting. It works on my 130 2 stroke Johnson so it will work on yours no problem. Also pretty accurate and very easy to install and all you need including the bracket are in the box. Hope this helps you out.

I'm using 30 weight oil. The unit is NOT a 2 stroke engine that burns a mix of oil and gas. The oil is for lubrication only.

Yes,it will work on both 2 stroke/4 stroke,it's in the directions.I would not buy another one because the battery doesnt last very long and is non replaceable .

4 cycle has 3 tips and wand the engine is a 2.5hp Briggs runs great but check for oil in air filter when you first get it ups delivered mine upside down took me a min to figure out what was wrong washed air filter runs great

The Honda engine that came with the McLane edge is model GX120, which is, according to it's manuel, 3.5 HP, NOT 4 HP that was advertised.

I would think so....it has a 4 cyl setting and RPM is not changed based on 2 vs 4 cycle.

The lower end models are still two cycle, the one I bought is 4 stroke which is just gasoline. Which means there is a tiny bit of oil in a crank case you have to watch for no mixing of gas and oil.

I put this in a Honda CRF230F four stroke and cranks stronger than the lead acid I replaced. I think 4 stroke engines are generally easy to turn over. I think I read Li on is not as susceptible to cold weather too. Good luck!

Yes. All multiple cylinder 4 stroke engines still fire each cylinder each 4 revolutions. Wrapping the inductive wire around any of the spark plug wires will work fine. I have used it on two cylinder generators to confirm correct RPM and consequently correct frequency output.
