I will check compression. I got the left engine to fire, but died after a few seconds. A little water came out of the exhaust. I fired up the right engine just fine. It also had a little water sputter out of the exhaust but ran fine after that.

You are right. I went out this morning and all the oil is gone. Can I fix the leak by making the grommets tighter somehow, or am I just going to have to buy new ones. Both of the grommets are a little loose, so they leak.

Sorry. After removing them, both oil tank grommets are the same. Is there a fix to make them tighter or just replace them?

My 97 Speedster was running through a gallon of oil per tank of fuel. Turned out to be a leak in the tank at the bottom bolt hole, where the tank attaches to the hull.

I just had the same type of problem with my Speedster tank. I bought a cheap plastic weld kit at Harbor Freight and used it to "weld" the cracks with the black plastic "welding rods" that come with the kit. It is fairly easy to remove the tank. Use a cheap Harbor Freight automotive siphon pump...

OK. The oil tank is installed. One gallon of oil brings the level in the tank to just under the hole where the sending unit fits. I put half of the second gallon in the tank. As the oil level rose above that hole to finish filling the tank, it started oozing out around the oil level sending...

The original crack was caused by someone (previous to me) over-tightening the bottom nut that holds the tank to the hull. It cracked the tank bolt hole and along the tank about an inch to each side of the bolt hole. That crack was above the lowest point in the tank, so the oil would leak out...

I tried a repair using J-B Weld clear fast setting two-part epoxy, but t did not adhere to the plastic tank. I then used my plastic welder (hot iron and plastic welding strips). I used an "abundance" of plastic weld strips. It sealed the area fine. I am now re-installing the tank with larger...

I ordered the wrong one's from a China based company at a great price. I had to re-order the correct ones from another China based company. Even with buying two sets, it came out cheaper. They work just fine.

Sorry to take so long to reply to this thread. I have been working on the electrical since then. I replaced a couple of fuses in the dash compartment. That solved the problem.

Now, my question...(without researching first) : Do the Seadoo engines have a low oil safety cut off to protect the engines, or do you think I damaged the engine? Right engine is fine. Left engine would not start after restarting a couple of times.

Ok. The oil light came on again. I had just been out about 10-15 minutes. My right engine was running just fine, but the left engine started shutting down, and after restarting a couple of times, it would not start. I idled back to the boat ramp using the right engine. I took the boat home...

Because my phone is at the bottom of the lake, with all my photos, and I'm not yet smart enough to recover them, if possible, from the "cloud" or what ever. I can post new photos of the finished product, once I get a new phone.

My 1997 Speedster gauges are not working properly. Left engine tach seems to work. The right engine tach never shows over 1500 RPM. The fuel gauge shows 3/4, when actually full. The speedometer doesn't show over 15mph.

Can the oil light issue "go away" with use (ie. sloshing the oil around on the lake)?

How would the oil light be affected by a dirty filter? Isn't the oil light for the oil level in the tank, not for the actual amount of oil getting to the engines?

The Speedster has been sitting for a few months. I took it to the lake last week, and it ran fine for an hour or so with the oil light on.

I made a rope door from a white 1/2" plexi-glass cutting board purchased from Home Depot. I made a cardboard pattern, then cut the plexi-glass on a band saw. You could use a scroll saw. Since the rope door opening is curved, I used a hot air blower "heat gun" to soften the plexi-glass just...

The oil light in my 1997 Speedster comes on, even though my oil tank looks full.

What struts do I need? The ones i am replacing are SPD 5300-40A.
