Have an unidentified single cyl engine for myson to strip from a lawnmower

How do I tell whether it si a 4 strok or a 2 sroke engine?

I told you it was silly but I am trying to learn as he does.
 
Most probably a 4 stroke most if not all are. Has it got a separate tank for 2 stroke oil or mixing instrustions? Take the sparkplug out and pull the starter,look down the hole and see if you can see the valves opeing and closing if so a 4 stroke as a 2 stroke has none.
 
luk about it n try n find a level/filler plug fa the engine oil,if ya find one then its a 4 stroke.if want a simple engine t teach im on,try n get a old nak'd strimmer.they 2 stroke n small enuf t strip ont bench easily.i got one otha day fa £3.
 
Ha ha... OK guys... Mr giggles as it happens is dropping off the V8 for Kai to strip after he has done the lawn mower one...

Out of the frying pan... but there can be no such thing as bad experience can there?
