Am I a victum of a Crappy dealer or was it the heat?

[Water4fire]

Hey ,Guys First let me say I had to take 2 and 1/2 quarts of oil out of my ski after the 10 hour service.

And then another 1/2 a quart at the lake. Yes that High after my dealer service. What I did for warranty issue's anyway.

Well as ya'll know my RXP ran 66 full
67 half
69 empty. At about 7900-8000rpm's

Well this weekend for the first time after my 10 hour service this is what I got.

A couple of rags in my compartment. Yes his shop rags.

A full tank of gas I hit only 63 mid trim just sitting normal and that was it.
Is this normal 63 MPH full tank and no supperman stance. at only about 7700 RPm's.

I then pulled the ski and went to lake house and with motor still warmed and level I rechecked oil and I pulled another 1/2 a quart out of the ski and I got it to finally see half or a little more on the dip stick.

Then went back out and could only average 65-66 at 7700 RPM's with a half tank of gas.

Then finally with it empty it pull only 7800-and a few blips at 7850rpm's.


Now it was about mid 80's and hummid. Was this a normal day for my RXP? Do they slow down this much with just a little hot and hummind day are did the techs over filling the oil cause this to happen and will it return to normal since I pulled the oil down to a respectable level.


What are some stock #'s with full tank in the heat?


Thanks guys and anything will help and I will get them done today as I am off all week.

In mid 80's , I pull 8100 RPM on stock ski w/ 18 hours. GPS at 67.5 full tank.

It may be time to find another shop, you think?

[SuzanGPR]

Shop rags left in your ski, definitely time to find a new dealer. Sorry to hear about the problems you're having.

[rx4pain]

I third that - get/drive to a new dealer.

Her is a update.

I checked oil again on a level shop stand in the garage and it is at 1/2 on the stick cold. Still is high. So I have pull more out to get it to read on the bottom mark cold.


Can anyone tell me if this hurts my ski running it with high oil and will I get my R'sss back after I get oil to a perfect level?

[MikeTrin]

If I were you I would just forget about checking the oil until you can do it on the water with a warm ski. You can't assume anything when it's cold in the garage on the trailer.

[Green Hulk]

if the oil is high it will rob you of RPM's. Also heat and humidity play a role in how many RPM's you can pull.

[Water4fire]

Mike, I agree, but I had a base line from before. My ski was cold and the oild was at the bottom of the line cold. And when I warmed it up it went to the 3/4 spot. So I was just tring to get to a good spot since it had so much darn oil in it and at the lake house I was useing my little had pump.

Jerry will I lose 300 RPM's with high oil? And will it come back?

I'll get these four strokes yet.

[Green Hulk]

yes, i've lost 300 rpm's due to high oil. once my engine is hot i like to keep the oil 1/4 up the stick. any lower and the oil warning starts going off.

[Water4fire]

If I would have to guess I would say my oil was 3 quarts over filled.

Easy. I hope I gain my 66mph at 8000 rpm back with my oil level back to normal.

I would hate to of had him screw something else up.
