Hi All,
We have just rebuilt the engine, got the little blighter back in the Ski wired it up and got it running it hasn't got the pump on yet and hasn't been in the water, it's only been run a couple of times for maybe 30-60 seconds at a time on the hosepipe. I went away for a couple of days came back and theres a small oil puddle by the fly wheel and the engine is smokey, where it was burning clean before.
It was leaking oil prior to the rebuild I as told to do the seals on the crank which I did garage inspected the spinning seals in the middle of the cranks and said they looked good so replaced everything else. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I could have done wrong, we followed the manual closely. We put 518 in the grooves around the spinning seals, a recommendation I've come across a couple of times in this forum.
Is it a pull-out the engine situation? any trouble shooting advice? or is it because the engine hasn't been run in? What would you do collective seadoo brain?
Many thanks Ben
