Installed the 717 with the oil block off and new rotary valve, SBT instructions and video's were gold. Engine started right up and idles and run great. Did the idle, 20%, 50% and up to 90% break in over weekend. Was worried as I could not find timing mark and installed same postion as old one.
5 questions.
1) Since I have the oil block off, (with half full oil tank) will I need to change the case oil at some point as the oil does not appear to circulate back to the tank?
2) I ran the break in oil for the initial run in. My local PWC shops recommends Amsoil 2 stoke for the premix. Is that ok or should I use Bombardier?
3) Plugs so far are black but neither wet or dry. Do I wait until I am running 40:1 premix before judging mixture?
4) Off topic but on the 1997 Sportster I noticed a male plug with 2 wires on a inner transom clip. Could not find the female half anywhere and don't recall if I disconnected or not. Is this a extra plug for speedometer or any option? The only gauge on this boat is fuel and that is inop.
5) Compression on both cylinders 125 psi.
Thanks in advance.
