back story:
Last summer we flooded my 2002 seadoo gtx 4tec jet ski with water, we got the water drained out of the ski and it started right up. It sat from september to today.
I took it to the lake, added oil to it, it looked low but i think i over filled the oil. it started fine, idled fine, but seemed like it had a different sound to it, and not as much power, then it started smoking badly.
It still starts up fine but blows alot of white smoke, and now the dipstick looks low on oil again.
where should i start?
i was thinking about trying to suck the oil out to see how much is actually there, adding new oil and filter, changing spark plugs, maybe sticking a camera down the spark plug holes to see if there is any piston damage. maybe a compression test?
other than taking it to an actual mechanic, what else should i do?
