Normally a 2 stroke engine fires every time the piston comes up.  When
you make the main mixture rich, it will suddenly start firing every
other time the piston comes up, or on every 4th stroke.  Hence the
description of 4-stroking.

It's a very abrupt dramatic event, you won't miss it.  Like Steve said,
the engine screams when lean.  As you go rich the engine will slow a
little, and then suddenly start 4-stroking.  You normally aim for the
cusp between 4-stroking and 2-stroking under no load conditions.  If
everything is right, this should give you the right mixture under heavy
load.

Everthing else made sense (Thanks!), but I don't know what "4-stroking"

means above...  You mean like it starts missing?
