Because I've been tempted to buy some of the new Honda 4 cylcle
engine-powers garden equipment, and until recently the really small
engines have always been 2 cycle. Or at least I think they have.

Two stroke engines are lighter for the same power output. They are
also usually noisier, shorter lived, use more fuel, and pollute more.

Choose the best compromise for the job.

Many of the cheaper ones are shorter lived, but it is not really part of
being 2 cycle. Remember when Saab had a life time warrantee on their 2
cycle automotive engines? It is a great way to lube the engine, but it can
also be just part of a cheap way of building an engine.
