I just picked up a 1999 GSX limited. And of course I screw up right out of the gate…
Was getting the engine started for fist time and had jump pack hooked up. I had hose connected to flush port. Not having checked and just been a boat guy my whole life I turned the hose on before the engine multiple times maybe 10 seconds before starting up. Then to make it worse I turned off the engine while water still running. I did this like 4 times since ski hasn’t run in over a year.
Pulled the plugs and there was no water in cylinders.
I also checked the oil no water in there either.
facepalm. It did start right up the whole time with no issues, and then after I found out how to correctly flush the ski I completed the steps correctly. It happened about 10 hours ago not sure how I can be sure I didn’t damage the ski.
Did I ruin my ski?
