It's a '94 Sea Doo XP--has given years of reliable
service. If I read the shop manual correctly, the
engine is a Rotax 657.
The ignition failed and I fixed that with a new CD module.
I started the engine briefly to see if it charged properly
since I'd been in the electric module. I ran it maybe 10
sec max with no water. I've done this before. Lots of smoke.
Head didn't feel warm. I did have to crank it awhile before
I got it to fire.
There was raw 2 cycle oil (the kind I use is black)
coming out the water exhaust port next to the directional
jet. Made a fair puddle on the cement.
I also detected a drop of the oil on the fitting where the
exhaust manifold drain connects--it goes to the water
exhaust port.
Before I put the plugs in--while I was checking to see that
they sparked, while cranking--I noticed there was some oil
coming out the plug hole. It looked diluted at least.
Have I hopelessly busted this thing somehow?? I've not
seen this before. Looking at the manual, I can't see
how oil can get here short of a catastrophic failure.
