The only year the K700 Clinton engine was used in a Sea King was 1973. If I were you, I'd run it at 24:1. It'll last longer for you. It'll smoke more, but it'll last longer. Keep in mind that the engine is almost 40 years old and who knows what abuse it's had in the past. Use 2-stroke oil designed for air-cooled motors like chainsaws, etc., or dual purpose 2-stroke oil, like the inexpensive brand made by Pennzoil.

Good luck with that outboard.
