Until I can locate a oil tank for my 1997 Sea-Doo Challenger, 787 single engine, here is what I would like to do.
Please comment.
Since no oil tank, I will have to go premix, so, can I leave the supply line connected to the oil pump and the two 3/32 lines to the intake and just pinch off the supply line? Instead of installing a block off kit, with the intent of re-connecting when I find a tank.
Now, since the motor burns oil [way too much] I've read on this site that removing the rotary valve oil and installing SAE 75W-90 synthetic oil could possibly help the burning problem, so #1 could I pour this oil down the oil tube supply line until the rotary cavity is full and maybe 6" up into the line for a visual, then attach the line to the top of the engine compartment and secure it. Then, run the return line up to where the tank was and re-connect it to the float fitting which came out of the tank and secure it.
Does oil actually come out of the return line or is it just a vent?
Thanks for any advice.
Cliff.
