Greetings all, I have a couple (what i hope are easy questions) for the community.
For start, I have a 1996 GTX. My curiosity is about production dates. There is a white sticker underneath the seat near the front that shows it was actually made in 11 of 96. Does this make it a 97? I know that on cars later month productions past July/August usually roll around to the next year. IE a 9/96 Ford F-150 would actually be a 97 model. Just making sure of the year so i can get proper parts and information on my Seadoo.
Finally, I have a question about the oil injection/tank system. Quick back story is that i purchased this seadoo REALLY cheap because the owner could not get it running. I need to some other maintenance and get a new key programmed to it, but i think it will turn out to be a great deal. In the bottom of the hull there is a fair piece (probably 7-8 tablespoons spread about) of injection oil. The previous owner did an awful job of maintaining the watercraft and there are zip ties on almost all of the injection clear hoses. Is this system under pressure to the point to where these zip ties need to be replaced with clamps? Do the reservoirs have a reputation for leaking or is there a common cause for leaks in this system? Can i use pressure to find leaks in the system?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
