Default 2 stroke fuel in a 4 stroke motor

My son put, as he says, about 2 cups of "weed eater", 2 stroke fuel, in his CRF150F, He ran the bike for about 5 minutes after and parked it. When I got home he told me of his error. I started the bike and it seemed to run fine. I empted the old fuel out of the tank and have not replaced it yet. I was wondering if anybody could tell me if putting the 2 stroke fuel in the bike will cause damage to the motor.

I wouldn't worry about it, burning a little 2 stroke oil in a CRF150F won't hurt it at all. I always dump my old unused 2 stroke fuel in my 200X 3 wheeler all the time and it has never skipped a beat since it was new back in 83. (I also run it in my lawn mower)

I wouldn't run it in the high performance 4 strokes like the R models though.
