The jetski mixes it's self with a oil pump to the carbs. the guy who was working on it suggested that i have the pump mix system removed for a couple of reasons. one was because it was smoking badly meaning it was mixing too much oil, and the other was because somewhere in that system it was leaking oil into the hull. he said it could just as easily mix too little as mix too much and that would ruin the engine, so i figured after getting lucky and having a second chance it was best to have the messy threat removed so it won't ever be an issue again. But I mix the same ratio for all my small engines without any problems. what ratio? |
