hi there can any one help me i have a kawasaki 750 xi super sport jet ski 1997, is it a 2 or 4 stroke engine, thanks

 

Not quite sure, it should say in your manual, and it will also recomend the proper mix for the 2 stroke if it is one. Good luck and Welcome to KF!

 

welcome to KF. check out your favorite fiche if you do not have a manual yet. Good luck.

 

Usually (aside from flat head engines from the 1940's and 50's or so) look at the valve cover. If the spark plug(s) go to the top of the head and there is no valve cover, it's 2 stroke. If there is a valve cover it's 4-stroke.

Example: On this engine there are fins on the head, but no valve cover.


This is a bat**** crazy looking engine, but notice how the spark plug screws into the head and there's a valve cover atop the engine? (the box with tons of nuts and fins)? That's a 4-stroke engine. Since 2-stroke engines don't have valves there's no need for a valve cover, cam shafts, rocker arms, etc. The top of the cylinder head is the top of the engine.

 

The ski is a two stroke dockerman

 

See? Somebody knows!

 

all of the old skis are two strokes, think it was about 2003/2004 the 4 strokes started appearing..
