Other 1996 Sea-Doo XP, unknown hose

[Ger88005]

The carb is off. The fuel/oil mixer is bypassed.
It's located right behind the carb, and it's extremely small tubing.
I can't figure out where it goes. I'm assuming it's for the oil mixer. It goes into the engine.
Please help!
Thank you, guys.

It is the oil injection nipple going into the lower case from the oiler.

Thank you, so much.
Is it safe to just leave it plugged?
It ran for years without it, I think. I premix...

You definitely need to cap both of them off. If not what it’s doing is sucking in air which is never good. You might see that it will run better as well.

As always, you guys are the best.
Thank you, all. <3

That’s not a 96 XP.

And you have to make sure you are still supplying the rotary gear with oil on a Seadoo even if you are running premix.

Then what do you think it is?

It might be an SP, but I could have sworn the title said XP.

Last 2 digits of the VIN is the year. Post a picture of the ski. 1996 XP has the 787 and your picture isn’t a 787.

 

[Ger88005]

I don't know what version it is.
My brain must be fried, cuz I was remembering XP...
Sorry for any confusion, guys.

How can I supply oil to the rotary?
Thank y'all for your help.

 

[mikidymac]

That’s a 1992 XP.

You will have to use the oil tank or make a loop with the oil lines to keep oil in the rotary chamber.

 

[Ger88005]

Where does this oil go?
Where that darn tube is?

 

[mikidymac]

Oil goes in the rotary cavity. There’s a 12mm hose on both sides of the engine in the lower middle that only supplies oil to the rotary chamber and only use APT-TC rated oil, not blue TCW-3.

 

[Ger88005]

Thank you, so much, for your help.

I'm pretty sure I have an SP model cuz it's got the 587 engine in it. It also only has a single carb, even though it says dual carbs.

It's got those hoses still hooked up to the engine. I hope I can find some apt-tc oil. Any suggestions?

 

[mikidymac]

Lucas makes one so does Mystic, Amsoil. Just make sure it says API-TC rated.

 

[Ger88005]

Thank you.
Why does it have to be API-TC?

 

[mikidymac]

Because that’s what Seadoo requires and is actually a higher rated oil. Don’t ask why but the TCW-3 oil has actually caused the inner crank seals to leak on the seadoo’s.

 

[Ger88005]

Understood.
Thanks, again.
I'm ordering some now.

That is the original 92 XP. First year out. Came with Twin Carbs and would reach a whopping 50mph.
