Hello everyone,
How much oil and gas do you use during a normal trip to the lake?

What do you mean the pump goes to full, sorry just trying to understand the question. I will look to check on this, if it making the boat consume more oil than usual...

Follow the two small oil lines from the oil tank, it will be connected to the oil injection pump, you may have to use a mirror/flash light and hang upside down and/or you may have to remove the air box so you can see the pump. Should have a small lever on top that's connected to a cable, that cable then runs to the carburator throttle. When you move the throttle the pump lever should move. You can search for oil pump adjustment or something along those lines for pics..You may have a leak to so you should check all the oil lines and get a service manual..
When the oil pump is disconnected it goes to wide open/full oil, which can waste a lot of oil.
I filled my oil tank 2 weeks ago, and been using it for skiing/wake boarding, and have filled up the gas tank 4 times(I think) and the light isn't on yet.

I will check on that, I did buy a manual, so I will look at that carefully...

That sounds about right. Always a good idea to research before you buy. I can go through 40 gallons of gas and a gallon of oil ($200 total) in about 2 hours if im playing hard. High throttle runs will burn a gallon of oil for every tank of gas. There is a tremendous difference if you cut back on the throttle, but the twin engine boats really burn up the fuel and oil if you play hard.

Lol, us smaller guys with the scic speedster have to pay to play hard too. My 2009 speedster 150 supercharged will burn about a tank in a few hours riding hard. A different story if I just cut back a little. But who can resist??

Isn't that the reason we bought a Seadoo boat, to go really really fast and turn on a dime, lol.
