Seadoo Rx nightmare-need help!

[Banshee]

My 01 RX blew up due to an oil pump failure (yes it really happen-two shops confirmed it).

It's has a rebuilt top and bottom end now, I'm getting it ready for the season.
I have it running on a garden hose and notice it wasn't blowing water out of the front tube (left side of the hull) to show it was getting cooling water.

I check the "big" water lines. It's getting water out of the hose coming from the head and the hose going to the exhaust pipe (under the pipe half way down the expansion chamber).

My questions:
1. Is it getting what it needs as far as cooling water goes?
2. Where does the other end of the small hose going to the outside of the
hull go? (small water line that show it's getting water, not the two air
vent lines)
3. Last question. I don't trust my oiler any more with good reason. I took my
oiler cable off and left it in the idle position. Can I get by with this? I plan
to run premix at 40 to 1.

I like to comment on a great site and wish I had found it years ago. Thanks ahead for your help.

As far as the oil pump,you need to remove the plastic "drive shaft" behind the pump.

Can I leave the cable off? After I remove the shaft it won't matter what position the oiler is in right?


Thanks

I looked at that up and down and it doesn't have the small tube on it. The tube is part of the cooling system, but all it does it shows the operator that water is flowing though the system.

I'm afraid since water is suppose to flow into this tube and out the front of the ski and the tube is now disconnected so the water that should be going into the tube is now going to go into the hull.

Anyone have an RX the could trace the tube down? One end is on the left side just below the bumper the other end goes somewhere into the motor. It's that end I need to connect back up.

It must be somewhere under the motor, because I've looked and felt everything I could.

Thanks.

Yes you can leave the cable unhooked,the oil pump will be there only as a block off.This is only the case with the reed valve motors,if its a rotory motor you have to leave the pump intact to oil the rotory valve.As far as the lines,my xpl(should be the same)there is actually a Y fitting where it comes out of the hull.One line goes to the elbow on the head pipe closest to the exhaust manifold and the other to the elbow closest to the clamp on the head pipe.

Thanks so much. This help tons. The one line that I thought was the cooling line, I now think is really the battery vent line. The two cooling lines are already hooked up correct.
I'm going to remove the oil shaft and get it ready for this weedend.
