I picked up two 96' GTI's with a dual trailer. Then starting flushing the fuel tank, fuel lines and such. Took out the oil tank, cleaned and added fresh synthetic that meets seadoo specs. Rebuilt the carbs. Put everything back together. Cranked it over and it locked on oil on top of the pistons. took out the plugs, cranked for about 10 seconds on and off about 30 seconds and kept checking the starter to be sure it was not getting hot. After a couple hours of cranking and cooling then again for a bit the next day it is still flooding with oil. I did notice oil on the butterflies of the carbs. Makes me thing the rotary shaft oil seal is bad since it just keeps on filling with oil and the carbs are getting oil in the throats. Anyone know if i can pull the shaft and replace the seal without pulling the engine. These skies are real low hours and have good compression.
ski number two is good, no oil leak to speak of, just blew lots of smoke on the first start. ran for about 15 seconds. will connect the water hose and run more before i hit the lake.
Also these skis sat for about 2 years on the trailer, with the trailer tilted up at about a 45 degree angle.
