Default 2 stroke fuel in a 4 stroke

I agree with Ed. it is a FACT that 4-strokes run cooler. That is the whole purpose of 4-stroke fuel. The problem with 2-stroke fuel as mentioned above is the extra oil cools the glowplug on the non firing stroke. That is why with a lower oil content you get a lower idle and smoother operation in a 4-stroke.

I would also suggest that book as good reading.
