gasoline in crankcase of my seadoo rxt 4tec 2008

[jhdarby]

I loaned my ski to a neighbor, I know bad Idea. He told me he accidentally poured gas into the oil fill. He said mayby a gallon went in. He realized what happenned when it over flowed. He immediately took it to a dealer this past saturday and they couldnt get to it till yesterday. He never cranked it up. The dealer said it just needed to have the oil changed. The dealer is telling me know it is running rough. what could have caused this. They changed the oil again and the spark plugs. They are calling me to see how far to go. Cant they just hook it to a computer to see why it is running rough? It was running perfectly before this mess happened. It has about 60 hours on it. Thanks for the help.

Since the oil doesn't all come out during a change... it will probably need to be done, at least twice. Three times will even be better. And since you know you need to do purging oil changes... use cheep dino oil. Then... it will need to be run VERY easy (low RPM's) to build heat, and to "Boil" the fuel out. THEN... do a final oil change, with good synth oil.


But since the fuel thins the oil... you have to be very careful while doing it.


This is a huge draw back, by not having a bottom drain.
