Re: Sea King 3.5 HP

Many builders supplied Sea Kings, without a model number or at least detailed description can't be much help on fuel mix.If its water cooled VWB model number its probably a West Bend or Chrysler could be 16,25 or 50:1 depending on the year.If its air cooled with a water cooled exhaust leg,it is probably a Clinton Fuel mix would be 16:1.

Re: Sea King 3.5 HP

By your description, it sounds like your Sea King was built by ESKA. If so, I would run 20 or 25:1 In it. Unless your oil is a 30 weight 2 stroke oil (and that stuff is hard to find/ non-existent), then you are more than likely gonna sieze your motor.
