For a...

    1996 polaris sl 780 to much oil?

    I doubt it ,probly have to replace main jets . Get yourself a workshop manual and get into a jet ski web site . I would also be using high octane gas ....at least untill your happy that fueling is ok

    1996 polaris sl 780 to much oil?

    I would say a tad lean but its hard to tell from pix . They need to be a light tan (peanut butter ) colour and you need to look right up inside where the insulator contacts the metal body of the plug. . Does it still have the standard air box/filter ? After market performance filter assemblies...

    Valve Lubricant

    😁Yeah , according to the blurb on the bottle it was a cure for everything fuel related , damn I cant remember what it was . I started with valvemaster but then that went off the market ( here ) and I think it was Redline that I went to next ...not sure ...the bottle is still tucked down the...

    I suggest you google about SL780 front cyl running hot ......quite a bit of info there. Nothing that cant be sorted but you need to know. As for the oil .....might depend on the brand ,and the possibility that someone has fiddled with the oiling in a misguided attempt to stop that front...

    Valve Lubricant

    I used to use a lead substitute in my pinto Capri engine because it doesnt yet have hardened exhaust valve seats . Works well too , without it I lose about a thou of valve clearance per 1000km's. That engine is not in use now .
