Re: eska 5hp

Model 1705F is a 1974 model.

For parts, go to certifiedpartscorp.com, then call the number you find there. Have your engine model # and serial number handy. They bought all the parts when Eska went out of business, and have a very good stock.

Re: eska 5hp

I don't know the plug number, but you should run that one on 24:1, using air-cooled two-stroke oil, like that used in chainsaws.

Re: eska 5hp

My info says 32:1 when using TCW rated oil. The Supertec oil container and my Citgo extra range container say TCW3 may be used in applications in place of TCW oil.Exceeds requirements for TC-W and TC-WII Oil container also says Recomended for 2 cycle engines,including outboards,snowmobiles,motorcycles,chainsaws,string trimmers and lawnmowers.
Recomended Plug is Champion J13Y set at .030.
