"The fuel mix is 50:1 using a

"The fuel mix is 50:1 using a TCW3 2 stroke outboard engine oil. Use a synthetic perhaps in an environmentally sensitive area or if the engine is inclined to smoke excessively

It is a mechanical shift, therefore any high viscosity outboard gear oil for the gears.

Just drain the oil from the gear case, letting it stand long enough to drain fully and replace with the correct oil. If worried change again after a short run or two. If oil draining is milky it indicates water ingress and the cause should be investigated and rectified."
 
"pennzoil blend or full synth

"pennzoil blend or full synth tcw 3 runs very well,and should be available in canada.smokes less ,in my opinion.
look for a shift rod in front of the carbs,maybe have a friend move the lever while you look,if not there will be wires that run down to it,
post up the model num and we can tell"
