So I got this new 95 seadoo xp with a 720 motor I wanted to check everything that I could be fore taking her out on water.
So I bought a compression tester from harbor freight thinking that was a good idea even though there's only a three $4 difference compared to AutoZone. But let me tell you I was really worried my first tested it I got 95 or 93 PSI with the harbor freight Pittsburgh one. And about started ordering parts to redo the top end. But I read some things online that their testers are not very good at harbor freight so I went and bought one from AutoZone and let me tell you how relieved I was. Still isn't perfect but I got 140 on the AutoZone compression tester so I am pumped the ski is in great shape.
But also wanted to ask has anybody ever had problems with blocking off the oil pump and just pre-mixing? My other ski has pump and made filling it up so much easier! So I didn't know with the pump being in the ski if that allows more oil to be pushed in with more throttle. Or it's just steady oil supply. Just getting hip to 2 stroke engine parts.
