First I’ve got to re prime my oil injection system as I can see air bubbles in the hose. I’m also confused on my high speed needle because the site you sent me tells me to turn it out 1 and a half turns but everywhere else says to leave it all the way in. Atleast in other threads I’ve read and what not. It also says to screw out the low speed 1 turn where in other places like the manual it tells me 1 and 3/4 turns out.
I agree, I have used this site a few times and seen that others use it as well but I have heard there is the odd mistake in it. I usually always trust this site more than the manual oddly enough for settings and pop off. In this case unless someone else chimes in, I would start with the low out 1 and 3/4 turns like you seen in the manual and high out 1 1/2 turns. Your going to rich but better rich than lean, if it bogs up to 1/4 throttle then turn the low in a quarter turn, if it bogs at higher rpm’s turn the high in. Have some extra plugs handy, the old plugs if running rich should dry up and be usable in a few days
I’m just noticing a large amount of oil in the bottom of my ski and the grommets that lead to the oil injector have oil on them and I see oil on the top of the tank too. It doesn’t seem like the oil is coming out of those thought it seems like one of the lines are leaky. How do I fix this properly. And how do I tell if the leak is from the engine itself, the lines or the tank

It kind of seems like buying a block off kit and premixing would be easier.
To find leaks I juste clean everything up real good and then wrap the lines with paper towel as well as the pit paper towels beneath the tank. The 2 piece oil tanks are notorious for leaking at the seam. I’ve always kept all my machines with the oil injection just because of the pain in the ass factor of mixing but if you do go to pre mix just remember you will need to keep the tank for the rotary valve. The grommet on the bottom of the oil tank is another common leak point
The grommets are all oily and there is some oil on the neck and side of the tank but not enough to cause this mess. It also isn’t oily underneath the grommets but the only oil line that’s wet is the one that is above the starter. My starter is also doused in oil. So it’s definitely leaking there but I don’t know why or how to fix it. I also can’t see it as it’s covered by the exhaust manifold.
That’s the rotary valve return line, wonder if maybe it got melted? Have to get a mirror and have a look
I see it and it looks fine but I see the oil on it and I don’t know how it’s getting on the starter because the top of the starter is dry but the bottom is wet. But it would make sense if it’s that line because the engine mount is also covered in oil. The hose clamp might not be tight enough and I haven’t ran it in a while so maybe the oil on top of the starter moved to the bottom and dried?
The hose clamp is very tight so maybe it got overtightened and the line a bit.
