type of oil and mix ratio for '93 550 stand up - PWC Forum: The best hang-out for Personal WaterCraft enthusiasts

mafulton · 05-23-2007, 11:16 AM

I have a 93 Kawasaki js550 that I just bought. Can anyone tell me if there is a special 2 cycle oil that is needed and the proper mix ratio?
I have some standard 2 cycle outboard oil that is rated TCW3, and was told by someone that the ratio should be 32:1. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hey,
I just bought a kawasaki 550 sx 1990 and it still has the original factory sticker saying to put tcw2 oil @ 40 : 1 ratio. I don't think they make tcw2 to I use tcw3

Wat up. I just bought a 92 550sx (my first ski, love it!!!) I went to my local shop and they told me to run Kawasaki 2 stroke jet ski oil. They also said I can run it anywhere from 32-1 to 50-1 I have tried 32-1 and 42-1. 42-1 runs pretty good, so I guess im going to stick with that.?.?
Id like to here wat to run it at from someone who knows what there talking about.
