Good Call!

 

Your right not an error. If something needs maintainance then we should know about it right?

 

I think it should be in the owners manual. Aeter all where does it state to change oil you need a shop manual. Most people would never know about it. I was a service manager for a bombardier dealer for a couple of years and have gone to several Tech schools put on by bombardier and I never heard of it until I got on the forums. I know for a fact that the seadoo techs never cleaned one out where I worked. Thats Scarey. Thanks for the reminder

 

I agree, Even a Honda Owners manual says to clean the screen, but the Owners manual does not.

 

Hey Al don't take that screen out!!! You will cause more damage than good if you pull that out.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Maintenance chart and oil tank strainer info..

The manual suggests cleaning the oil tank screen every 200 hours, but I'm thinking it needs to be checked/cleaned more frequently.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

good find Buttfungus

 

Did mine a couple months back and it was NASTY!

I think your right. . . most owners don't know to check this item.

Al: Sorry to hear this probably caused the issue but, I am also glad it wasn't a parts defect (would rather see it somethin we can all prevent now that we know about it.) Good luck getting the engine back together!

 

Hey Steve, is that oil strainer cleaning also listed in the OWNERS manual chart? might be, I cant say as I've checked.....always use my shop manual.....

 

I don't know, I haven't looked at it in a long time..I will check though. Nope, not in the owners manual that I can see. It looks like they left it out.
