If you didn't ride the ski at all last summer but had it winterized the fall before, is there anything that needs to be done now besides charging the battery and checking the oil?
Thanks

Drain the gas and run it before you head to the water

I ran it out on the lake (almost empty)last time I rode.( had to flip to reserve) think that is good enough?

Nope. That does nothing for the gas that is currently in the carb, fuel lines, filters that's probably bad by now. You need to drain all the old fuel and add fresh fuel.

Yes, drop it off at a city dump. Hate them dam things and the dumb arse drivers that run them.

is it carbed or FI? 2 stroke or 4?

for a 4 stroke FI I would pull the plugs, quck squirt of fogging oil in the cylinders, bump it a time or two and then put the plugs back in, fill it up with fresh gas, add a can of seafoam and go ride.


2 stroke carbed - may be gummed up, but I wouldnt tear anything apart until I treid to run it a little. For starters I would probably do the same as above but use 2 stroke oil instead of fogging oil.
