Oil Injection Linkage

[dirtdiver]

I bought a 96 Seadoo spx and had no throttle in the water, took it to a shop to rebuild carbs suppose to be $500. 5 weeks later nothing so I decided to try it. Pulled everything off and replaced last night Sounds strong on the trailer but there is a linkage on the back carb (rearend) that has slack in it doesn't want to set in the grove with tension? didn't affect the throttle? When i chase the cable it goes into the bottom of motor?

How do i get the tension back and what does this cable do? any help would be appreciated my son and i are ready to ride but i don't want to get broke down in the water.

The cable goes to the oil injection pump lever. The lever post has a spring on it.
OIL PUMP LEVER SPRING
The spring has a curl catch on the mid of the lever. the lever turns from 9 o'clock
and you should feel more pressure as you turn it to 6, then 3 o'clock, even tho
without the spring it will 360*. The oil throttle cable alignment marks at carb idle
is lever at 5:30, just adjust the nut. At 3 o'clock is a lug with the alignment mark
to align the lever and that lug is what the springs lower curl catches under.

Use the seach button and the How-to section of this forum. The cable has two 10mm nuts on each side the bracket
that all the allows the lever marks to be aligned at idle throttle.

thanks I did what you said, once I got the tension I keep the slack at Carb side and slide into the hole. I never undid the linkage from the bracket so I hope the alignments are good. Should I be able to notice a difference in the sound of the motor now that he injector is working win carbs? I read something about bleeding he system but I don't believe I let air into it by removing the carbs.

Thanks again

There are two 3/32" oil lines (weedeater fuel line) from the oil injection pump 6" long and go to the two
rotary valve spigot fitting on each cylinder. These need changed every two years as they then turn brittle and
break and then the engine fails from no lubrication. To prime, With motor running, reach under the carbs to the lever
simply pull up on the oil pump lever, and the pump will push more oil, just like you were at high speed, and push any air
bubbles out that may tend to block the oil flow.

I will try in tomorrow. I am hoping this thing screams it had no power in the water, so took apart the carbs and cleaned seems very responsive on the trailer. Do you know anything about the trim system. Wheni bought the ski Guy said it gauge didn't work so I don't know what the is set at.
