I currently have 50+ gallons of fresh gas/oil mix in my tank. Less than a month old. If I repower to a 4 stroke or Etec would I need to get rid of all that perfectly good gas/oil mix?

Yes. I would not risk it.

4 stroke will smoke like crazy but run good. The Etec will smoke a bit more but shouldn't hurt more than spark plugs.. That said, in either case, I would turn that into lawn mower gas or sell it off as 2 stroke mix. bring your can type thing. It will run fine in a non Cat 4 stroke engine, so don't put it in your car

No need to get rid of it. Dilute it with straight gas.

That's what I would do. :) I would also go with an E Tech or Optimax before a 4 stroke.
