    Bikers-Old Kawasaki oil injection question

    Got a old 78 125 Kawasaki 2 stroke running that was given to me. Thing is a hoot compared to my heavy Harleys. The oil injection works just dandy. Question is, can I use plain old quality 2 stroke air-cooled oil, or does Kawasaki specify something special? I know I could just disconnect the pump...

    A Great Tool Every Boater Should Have

    Just thought I would post as no one else has. Yes, they work, simple principle. Also made (can't mention the name) are exhaust header bolts with small inner Hex Key expandable inserts that lock the bolt, and much easier to take out. :cool:

    7.5 Scott Atwater

    Is there much interest in the 50's 7.5 Scott Atwater? Picked up one free at a barn looking for old motorcycles. Complete with a spare powerhead, but sitting for years, and both froze up. Probably do ebay for a few and local P/U.

    A simple oil ratio question

    Time for an oil argument. Here goes. if your non-injected 125hp Outboard (boat from manufacturer with motor) calls for 50-1, and you spend 90% of your time at 3700rpm instead of 5200, and run 40-1, are you getting a better mix (a little heavy) which should be better as 3/4 throttle does not give...

    I'd like to take my condenser (Mallory Flat Cap-350GM VP280) and mount it externally. Did this on one on my Harleys too for the room-mounted it near the coil on the frame.
