What to do if you overfill your Yamaha waverunner with oil

[@maxnuccio2440]

6 screws on the box for anyone wondering. Tend to rust. Good to pick out the screw driver bit slot of any rust and make sure the driver fits in there and doesn't strip the head. Make sure you don't lose your air filter box gasket either!

Thanks for the info 👍🏽👍🏽

Will overfilling trigger the warning light?

[@BTKSPENCE]

just got back from lakemead and hour ago and ran into this problem I hope I didn't run them to long before noticing the smoke. but thank you for the video, looks like I have some work to do... I just don't understand how I put to much I added 2 of the 3 quarts the Yamaha kit came with, with the intention of adding some once running at the lake and apparently 2 was 2 much ...

[@wolfeman1966]

That’s how I learned. But if you haven’t fully drained the oil. Then there lay the problem.👍🏽 Thanks for taking time to comment. Hopefully others will see your comment. Many thanks 👍🏽

I'm having the same issue I actually had somebody who serviced my ski overfill it, I have sucked out enough oil so that it's at the right level but I ran it for a few minutes to see if the problem persisted before I realized That oil was in the air box and that's why it was causing it to smoke. What is the damage that can happen if you run too much oil through your air intake? And how do you just clean it out after you've wiped everything up Just carb cleaner? I am not having any oil in the bilge bthough

[@wolfeman1966]

New air filter is a must 👍🏽

[@wolfeman1966]

And clean out air box and air hose.👍🏽

@@wolfeman1966 I got a new air filter, cleaned out the air box and air hoses. Used seafoam engine cleaning spray, used throttle body/carb cleaner. New plugs. Fresh non-ethanol Fuel with seafoam added. I can get it running with some force at the dock but when I hop on the ski and start it, its running ragged still. Can't get more than ~5mph. I pulled the plugs after I sprayed the engine cleaner and saw that they were fouled too, so I went and got new plugs. It runs great until I demand more than 5k rpm from the engine. The second batch of new plugs are fouled too. Is there just a ton of oil in my intake manifold? and how to I remedy this, just pull everything off the manifold and soak it in degreaser and wash it down?

[@wolfeman1966]

@@sugard53 crap…. Is gray smoke still coming out?

[@sugard53]

@@wolfeman1966 it smokes a little bit, not as much as in your video or when I spray more cleaner in. . I have to hold the throttle or else it will die at idle after trying to takeoff. If I give it a little rest after trying to leave the dock or a lot of cranking it will start and idle just fine. Oh, And if I kinda repeatedly squeeze the throttle I can get some speed to build up maybe 8pmph on the display but nothing much and it always bogs down again.

[@ShahidKhan-pt7ko]

[@stevenpena4053]

How do you check the oil level? Do you check it cold? Run it for a bit then check?

[@wolfeman1966]

Yes But make sure it’s just to the bottom of the dip stick

[@rafaelaguilar1329]

The oil is like milky many people say that i have to replace the gasket

[@wolfeman1966]

If it’s milky, it does mean water has leaked into the engine. That means it’s getting in somewhere… so must definitely a seal of some kind. Try researching .👍🏽👍🏽 Best of luck 🤞🏽

[@rafaelaguilar1329]

Thank you so much
