Rotax oil question?

[ericmalvarez]

If a Seadoo is rigged to run pre-mix do you still need oil in the tank? And if so does the same oil recirculate or is it consumed, do I have to keep a constant watch on the oil level how fast is the oil consumed. And what happens if the oil runs out and I keep riding?
Thanks.

Depends how it is rigged up. Even if your running premix the RV still needs just a little bit of oil. The best way to run premix is to pull the oil pump, take the oil pump shaft out, put oil pump back on, and leave your oil tank still hooked up as normal. The tank should have a little bit of oil in it so the RV can still be supplied with oil. It does not take a lot, so just make sure there is some in there and never let it run out, it doesn't recirculate.
