97 XP oil adjustment question

[WakeSetter08]

One of my 97 XP's has some internal work done, Rossier exhaust, and MSD ignition. But, i noticed its usin more oil than i THINK it should be. My other stock xp has no oil residue at exit port of exhaust at rear of ski, but this one turns the area around nozzle and pump black.

Can i adjust ( lean ) the oil/fuel mixture, and if so how, and how much should i do it, because i know I shoudn't run it too lean. ( The ski still self mixes)

AND

Last weekend the exhaust hose at exit port on rear of ski, blew off twice! Anybody had this happen to them? The plastic coupling looked to have gotten hot and sorta melted a little. Any advice is helpful, already sunk this thing twice due to this!

Thanks in avance!

need to check your water regulator, make sure its work'n, and the "water sprayers", in the pipe, make surethey aint clogged and/or make sure the water solenoid is functining correctly...is the wire wrapped around the mag plug wire?

When you say water solenoid, do you mean after market? Because someone has mounted one on mine. Has 12 volts run to it.

It's T'd off of one of the lines coming from back into the head of engine.

And when you say wire on mag plug, i'm guessing your talking about the msd.
And no, its mounted on the PTO plug, but RPM gauge doesnt read on cluster.

It's T'd off of one of the lines coming from back into the head of engine.

And the water regulater ( RAVE valve on water box ) is missing. Someone took it off and put a plug in it, and just put a straight connector in place of the old T.

Could the RAVE valve on water box being missing cause the exhaust after the water box to exit of ski get hotter than nessecary?? I was going to put the one off my other ski on it last night, but when i got it on there, theres no where to run the line to up at the engine because the Rossier exhaust doesnt have a side port like the stock exhaust has.

Thanks for any future advice.
