kitty

it depends it could be a kawasaki or a susuki engine, 78 is when they swicthed to susuki so it could be either they are both 2 strokes i would suggest 40:1 using a good synthetic

i have a whole pile of these things and have done a lot of custom work to them on the susuki engine there are "s" emblems in all the castings
