Just finished installing my new motor from sbt, but it won't start cranks great other than i keep heating my starter up and killing the battery. It's getting fire. I took the plugs out and noticed the number 2 cylinder is pumping oil out it when i crank it. Called local shop and they said it was probably over fogged, because the plugs are soaked with oil. I tried starting fluid and it fired, but i heard starting fluid is bad for these engines, by the way it's a 97 SEA-DOO XP. What can i do to get this thing running without using starting fluid, or is it ok to? By the way when it fired smoke came out the carb throats.HELP!!!Also, someone told me it could be the battery, they said they have seen them crank all day but not start the machine, is this true or a line of BS.
