Go ahead and give me shit, but it is a jet boat! :p
Anyone know what ratio to mix the oil at on one of these old school Kawasaki's?

I used to have one and ran it 50:1
(actually wouldn't mind having another one - they are kinda fun around the houseboat.)

One galon of gas and one pint of oil pour it all over the thing and add a match. Drink a cold one
and let her go.

ToddYou'd mix it that rich? I was thinking it was 50:1 as in 50 gallons of gas to 1 oz. of oil. Then pour all over and set a match. :D
Jordy :D
of all pwc's, I dislike the old stand ups the least. wouldnt mind a 550. But I would never tell anyone on here I had one.
