I had to use a 4 stroke mower in the middle of summer, along with other young lads. I was dirty on having to do this, as you were, when working for nothing (kinda). $100 bucks a day off the fine, 8.30am - 4pm on Sat and Sun. I had to mow this block that was on a steep slope. I discovered that the briggs and stratton didn't like going across the face of the hill. It made some BAD noises going one way, and was fine going the other. I killed it within 20 mins by going the 'bad way' as much as possible. It seized solid within 6 or seven passes at full noise... Made my day. That's one mower down and 2 to go... Fsck the grubber ment and their fines... One Man

The main reason why Stihl introduced the 4-Mix design was to help their larger engines meet emissions standards. The design limits unburnt fuel escaping into the exhaust by following a typical 4-stroke combustion cycle rather than inlet and exhaust ports. Not having a sump like a real 4-stroke also means it won't suffer from lack of lubrication due to angle changes during operation. The drawback is the added bulk and weight, they also require regular valve clearance adjustments.
