Thanks just a few questions to pick your mind a bit about what happend
If you must go to pre-mix the ratio is 40:1. You really need to keep the oil injector tank in place and connected to the rotary valve hoses to properly keep the rotary valve shaft lubed. Remember that the oil injector pump is a variable rate pump It delivers more oil as the engine rpm's increase and less at say idle. Your oil consumption will be more and fouled plugs will be a norm as it will foul the plugs at low rpm's. The difference to go to premix dosen't make much sence to me except for peace of mind... I have never seen an oil injector pump fail, just be replaced after thinking it was the problem. I've never heard that the oil in a injected engine displaces any fuel...its still in the fuel, but applied differently. The block off plate kits are on like e-bay or SBT might sell them. You could remove the pump shaft under the oil pump and reinstall the pump, or buy a block off plate kit.

Ok, I just took the engine out and checked everything over good it don't seem like anything is wrong with the oil pump, I am very new to seadoos this is my first one.
?**the back cylinder, the head, the top of the piston...well all of the piston and the exhaust manifold.....all clean like washed in brake cleaner only in the back cylinder, burnt the rod bearing the piston was melting in some places and their were some of the missing little pieces of the piston stuck in the head like someone shot them out of a gun.....(sound like the back cylinder have oil to you or not??)
?**I did just rebuild the carbs and keep seeing people say their is a throttle linkage, a oil pump linkage and a choke linkage on the carbs.....mine only has a throttle and a choke on the carbs and the oil pump has it's linkage, they were all set and checked to make sure all was moving together, the line on the pump lined up with the line on the engine, carbs were completely rebuilt, new everything and cleaned, both low speed screws were at 1.5 turns from closed and both high speed screws were at 0 all the way down like they should be to start checking plugs......(could a carb cause this to happen to a engine in 1 or 2 min running if something is wrong with it...who knows I'm human I could have done something but I took plenty of time and did it right but if something wasn't right could it do that??)
where is this other oil pump linkage that is not on my engine, I would keep the pump if I knew it wasn't the cause of the blow out.
?**When I first got the ski a water hose came off and overheated the engine that was in august since I've been replacing gaskets and testing it several times, it was never running right because the carbs were clogged and the carbs were shot and needed rebuilding, I did get to the filters in the carbs and clean them when I replaced the lines and tried to clean the rest of the engine and carbs with some seafoam (cleaner) in the gas, ran it hard because with the filters clean it ran a little better but only would go 40 mph I did run it full throttle and ran it hard to try to clean it out for about 20 min non stop, it blew a head gasket and I didn't even know till I got it back and tried it on the trailer I noticed the front cylinder was hotter than the back, much hotter THIS WAS THE FRONT CYLINDER, the exhaust was blowing the water out of the cooling passageways you could see the oil and smut on the inside of the cylinder passageways and on the grass from trying to flush it. But that was the front and the overheat in aug was more the front. So I changed the head gasket, installed the new rebuilt carbs, and it ran like a champ, like a new one on the trailer, would crank every time for the first ran so smooth put it in the water started it, it went dead started again let it warm up and took of for about 2 min and that was it, kaboom, paddle time. I would put up one of the little faces to show how I feel about my first ski experience but I'm past all of them to a point where you don't have.........o never mind I just saw the (more) lol

lol I just want to know which problem blew my engine or if was a little of all of it I know my cleaning mission didn't help but I did look at the plugs I bet 10 times to check for oil and nice color it looked good and had oil so I took it out and the way the oil looked cleaned out of the back cylinder made me think oil pump but I just don't know I need to know because I'm getting a engine or having someone rebuild mine from the bottom up. I don't want it to happen again!!! How can I make sure 100% with a oil pump that's my ? and what do you think could have done one cylinder like that,
could it look that, like it was cleaned to the metal everywhere from the way the metal was flying in there and when the bearing went. Maybe it had oil and just looks that way I have never seen a engine do this before. Any answers I will be very thankful for. I will be in the water spring going to take my time and get her ready, I don't like the sound of using more oil just to have a bunch of fouled plugs all the time but I want to know this wont happen again. I don't know much about them at all but I know what happened to the engine was weird.
?**Where is the rotary valve and which line are you talking about that goes there I only have the main line into the bottom of the pump from tank and the 2 small lines that are at each cylinder before the reed valves at the bottom, full bore will rebuild the engine and remove pto, the magneto and put all that stuff back on the rebuilt engine, time it and everything
