I bought a 1974 GT185 at a garage sale and am restoring. I'm close to starting it up and have searched for on-line service info regarding oil.

This is a two stroke twin. Is this oil injected or do I have to mix the gas/oil?

Also, what oil do I put in the motor? A parts store advised 10-40 but I am hesitant to do that until I am sure.

Suggestions would be appreciated.
Sorry for the beginner questions!

Hi, per my owners manual engine oil "a good quality Two-stroke oil (non-diluent type) of around SAE30 should do. The transmission oil change should be every 2000 miles. remove drain plug located under crankcase and allow oil to drain, refit drain plug, measure 800 cc (1.69 us pint) of suzuki transmissionm oil or SAE 22w40 multigrade motor oil and pour in to transmission slowly, refit oil filler cap, DONE
