Re: oil injection on 97 xp

There are 3 large oil hoses, all come from the tank. The one with the filter connects directly to the oil pump, the other 2 go to either side of the motor for the rotary bath.

Re: oil injection on 97 xp

thanks for responding, and please forgive my ignorance of this subject, i am new to jet skis and oil injection. i have located and connected the crankcase supply and return fittings on either side of the motor, but i have been feeling all over what i believe to be the oil injection pump (a roundish case on front of the motor) and can't find the fitting for the hose with the filter. I really, really don't want to pull the motor again for this. can you narrow down the location of the fitting. thanks again for your help.

No problem.

Here is a pic. I highlighted (with yellow) where the oil line connects. Make sure you clamp it!!

Also, if you don't already have one.. A manual is very important.. www.seadoomanuals.net has them for FREE

Re: oil injection on 97 xp

thank you very much. i felt around that but it was turned in against the case so i didn't think it was a hose fitting. now i'll hope the carbs aren't gummed up. do you know if the carbs from an xp 800 will fit my 787 (or are they actually the same motor).
