Hi. Purchased a 97 sportster with a rotax 717.
Took it out for first time yesterday. Started good. It seemed a little sluggish and seemed to smoke excessivley imho but im not sure.
I decided to check compression. I left 1 plug in and put the tester in the other plug hole. Engine would not turn at all.
Took tester and other plug out. Engine turned and shot oil EVERYWHERE.
Put plugs back in and again it would not crank.
The cylinders are full of oil for some reason.
I there was about a gallon of oil in the tank yesterday. I took the boat out for 20 minutes. Today there is barely any oil in the tank. I cant believe it couldve used that much oil in such a short time.
What is going on here?
