Can you? - Yes
Should you? - Not realy.
In a lawn mower, no biggie.
In a tractor, It would live.
In a new car, not advisable. Catalitic converter, fuel injectors, O2 sensor, and all that stuff.

Running it on 2 stroke gas would not cause any long term issues. Besides, 2 stroke is made up with 4 stroke gas being the primary gas. The reason it becomes 2 stroke gas is when you add the oil into it to make it into 2 stroke. Properties of 4 stroke still present. 2 stroke motors work differently to 4 stroke motors. On the lubrication side of things, 2 stroke motors require the lubrication from the 2 stroke oil to stop it from seizing up. Whereas, 4 stroke motors have an oil sump which allows it to be kept lubricated. Your motor would have smoked more then usual with the 2 stroke oil. Now that you have replaced the fuel it should be OK.

I wouldn't. 2-cycle gas has oil mixed in with it, and will make a 4-stroke engine smoke like a factory, plus will really badly foul the spark plug(s). Use regular gas.

No, It will smoke like a big dog, and won't run very well.
