    I think your motor likely has an air cooled powerhead with a water cooled leg.  If that is the case, use air cooled two stroke oil.  Minimum 16/1.  Might have a rubber impeller, but I would bet propeller pressure fed.  A little disasembly will certainly tell you.  You can guess based on if there is a tube behind the propellor to pick up water or not.  Cowling removal can be tricky.  Just go gently and don’t force it.
