A friend at work gave me a 2hp
A friend at work gave me a 2hp sea king today. I plan to put it on my hobie cat for when winds die or for launching from boat ramps. I got it running tonight. The spark was weak so I cleaned the points and adjusted them and fitted a new generic condesor and new spark plug. It fired right up. It was running only with full choke so I pulled the carb and cleaned it all up. Now it runs a little better.
So for my questions. On the fuel tank it says mix 1/2 pint 30 weight to 1 gallon of gas. Is this what I should stick to or can I use a modern 2 cycle engine oil? and if so is it same ratio or can I go a bit leaner?
It has a walbro carb on it. There are 2 adjusmet screws one on the bottom of the float and one on the carb body. Im guessing the bottom is the mixture and the one on the body is a fast idle mixture?
Is there a good starting point some one can recommend?
I know its direct drive but is there any way to lube the bottom end?
Thanks in advanced
