How fast is the throttle set?

the 4 stroke does not typically have the same starting and warmup trouble as the 2 stroke.  2 strokes are nice because of the rpm range. this is good for attahcments such as the trimmer or brushcutter. so if your just doing these go for the two stroke. owever 4 stroke twould work best if you are plasning on using a rototiller attachment or somthing like that. i know honda has a 4 stroke engine that can be operated at any angle. i big concern is the not having to change iold. i find that unless you are using it for commerical use( which most are not intended for) that you will probably not change the oil for any more than twice a year. 4 strokes are cleaner buring, more powerful, and require no mixing of gas. they are a beter all around choice. the two stroke has its purpoe howeve.

i would guess its the OHV verses the L-head that made the difference. they tend to do that.

i would go with what the manufacturer reccomends because then if it breaks down they will fix it. if you used an iol you were not supposed to in the manuel and it devolopes a problem they might blame it on gyou and decide not to fix it underr the warrenty

i dont know if you are stil looking for an answer but i do not so why you could not if all of the mounting and linkage works the same. they are not that different
