    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    I messaged the seller to find out what he has been using. Looks like it currently has 5w30 synthetic. In the bin of stuff he gave me I found an owners manual for both the drive and the engine. Looks like it's the LX, and that makes just a little more power. I'm curious if this is a roller cam...
