97 GTX questions

[trabich]

First, Does the 1997 gtx with the 787 have two seperate oil resivoirs. (One for crank case and one for fuel mixture) From what I can tell it looks to be only one. I didn't think I had to pre mix my fuel.

Also I am getting ready to replace my wear ring. Any advse would be great. I just cant afford the manual right now.

it only has one reservoir and no you don't want to use premix.
Your ski is oil injected so as long as you have oil in the tank your all set and remember to change the oil once every year at least.

cant help with the wear ring issue hopefully some one else will jump in.

P.S. check you messages

There is a small reservoir for the counterbalance shaft that needs checked periodically. Go to http://www.angelfire.com/oh/theboatguy/reservoircheck.html for details.

If you bought the ski used, you might want to make sure somebody didn't block off the oil pump and convert it to pre-mix. Look for the pump on the front of the engine and for small hoses running from the resevior connected to the pump. The hoses are clear so you should see them filled with oil.
