[QUOTE="Sirhc7897, post: 14291835, member: 10294"] The tygon lines they use for all of the oil lines on those things get brittle and crack over time...I'd start checking those first....If they are looking yellowed it's time to replace. If you've never replaced them...it's time to replace... Secondly, I'd strongly suggest swapping it over to premix...The oil pumps themselves are pretty bombproof (even if the linkage breaks they flip open and default to wide open flow) but a many a ski has been done in by oil starvation issues on those old 951 motors...The blockoff kit for the oil pump is super easy and then just run premix and never have to worry again (decent marine synthetic @ 40:1 will keep it from smoking and give you plenty of lubrication)... Couldn't hurt to clean your rave valves as well... Edit - you said a SPX...that's the 800 right, not the 951...Not sure if that motor has rave valves or not...My experience is with the 951 which was "fragile" at best but I heard the 800's were damn near bullet proof...
