so I pulled the raves apart and they are very nasty, I cannot find any brittle bad orings or anything but I am going to buy the rave valve kits and replace all the rubber parts anyways, but still cannot figure out why in the heck there is oil in the pulse lines/tubes going to the rave valves, I mean they are litteraly full of oil, and my red caps are set to the middle not flush at top or bottom...just dead center....wtf am I missing here? To me there would be no way to have oil in the air lines going to the raves anyone know what would cause alot of oil to enter the lines?
And the best part is this ski ran perfect had no issues with any running conditions at all, I took it out and everything seemed fine, then when I would slow to an idle after 45mins-1 hr it would not idle just stall then if you restarted it if you even touched the throttle it would die at about 1/4 throttle I was able to ease into it and it finally went again, then running wot it just started loosing speed and rpms from 62 to 38 mph, so I let off then it was fine again, brought it back to the dock and bam would no longer idle again, and if you touched the throttle it would die no matter what. So I brought it home, and found some water in the hull, water in the air box, a bad motor mount, a gap on one side of the wear ring to impeller but fine on the other side, rave valves and hoses to them full of oil, a exhaust plug just starting to seep water, a head that would soon cause water into my cylinders and a oil pump still on it yet the pulled the intake hoses and just ran premix with the pump still on it.
I just need to really find out why there is oil in my rave valve hoses, they have tons of oil in them.
