I recently purchased 2 1999 tigershark TS770R's. When I first got them the oil light came on, I filled it full with Pensoil synthetic for PWC. The light went off. After putting about 20 hours on it, the light came back on. The oil is 3/4 the way full but the light still comes on. I read in these forums that the oil sender is probably bad. I unplugged it and of course the light went off. I started it up and it is burning oil (white smoke from the exhaust).
My questions are these:
1) Do you think this is the problem and should I replace it?
2) What type of oil should I be using? API-TC or TC-3?
I had a seadoo and the guy I bought it from use regular 2 stroke oil and jacked it up. I had it fixed and started using the seadoo oil. I am trying to avoid the same mistake.
Any help is appreciated and this forum is great because I have not found much info on tigersharks since they stopped making them in 99.
