I recently purchased a 1985 JS550 and I see that there was oil in the little flywheel compartment in the front. It has a fill spot, so I am assuming someone thought there was oil needed there. Is there supposed to be oil there?? I talked to someone who was claiming to be good in jet ski engines and they said it was fine so it was taken out on the water and run for about 20 minutes.
It would only get up to half throttle and then when it was brought back in there was water in the engine compartment and was almost full. I turned it on its opposite side of the battery and drained it and have left it sit for now. I am wanting to do reasearch on what to do. What do you recommend that i do??? I am new to Jet ski engines with the watercooling and all, but have worked on snowmobile engines a lot in the past... I also just replaced impellor on this one, so i had pump and casing all out of ski.
Thanks for any help.
