96 seadoo xp only cranks with spark plugs out

[vaser21]

no idea of the history, but for some reason the guy before me installed a valve in the oil line, im sure it was oil, and only coming out of the first cylander the one towards the front.. il proably look into that stuff in the spring, so what could it be, carb needles?

Its the inner crank seal. If someone put a valve on the Oil bath line...that was their "fix to the issue.

Let it sit a week or two with the valve open...if it still starts it isnt that bad other than environmental. If its full of oil then the problem should be addressed. The whole crank has to come apart to replace it so at that point a complete rebuild would be recommended.
