It depends upon what you consider tempermental.
If you mean they drip oil on the ground, smoke a lot on acceleration, run hot, and are not as fuel efficient as a 4-cycle engine, yes they are tempermental.
On the other hand, unlike a Cummins, you can never melt down the pistons because you pulled a hill too long in too high a gear.
My 2-cycle DD's start very easily, even if they have been sitting for weeks and weeks and the temperature is below 40 degrees.
I keep them full of good 40W oil, keep the water level up where it is supposed to be with the proper pH, and keep the fuel fresh. So far, they are not what I would call tempermental.
What do you consider tempermental?
