Oil level/97 gsx

[chopstick1fl]

Finally took my 97 gsx out of storage. Haven’t ran it in 17 yrs. Changed fuel lines,carbs,wear ring, starts/runs with premix 50:1. LCD doesn’t work. About to test it on the water. Noticed air in the oil line. Is This normal? should I get the air out? Also how much oil to add in the tank? Pretty sure it’s seadoo oil (I’m the only owner) so I’ll use the same. Thanks!

That's the return line. It's normal. By the look of it there is plenty of oil in there.

If it was me, I would change every oil that is associated with this ski!, 17 years is a long time, all of them have probably broke down by now. I would also clean out all the reservoirs. Change every filter and lubed everything, spring , cables..etc

50:1 is a bit light.,,,that oil will not break down,,,but the gasoline will.
