Newbie question: Fuel and Oil

External Since: May 10, 2005 Posts: 6

Sorry for the elementary question. My bro in law just acquired two Yamaha
GP 760s and neither of us know anything about them. He is asking if these
things take an oil/gas mixture, or just unleaded (with oil elsewhere).

Looking to find the answer in advance so we have what we need when we get
there (no gas stations within 1/2 hour of this lake).

Thanks

I'm not very familiar with that model of ski but, most likey there is
an oil tank under the seat somewhere close to the fuel tank. You of
course need to keep plenty of quality 2 stroke oil in the tank.
Yamalube is good oil and you can find a few other quality oils at
Wal-Mart like their Pennzoil synthetic 2 stroke oil. The presumes that
those are stock skis that have not had the oil injection system
disabled. If that has happened then you would need to pre-mix your oil
and gas before dumping into the tank. You probably really need to ask
someone locally who can look at the skis to make sure for you if you
can't figure it out. A local yamaha pwc dealer might help you if you
ask nicely and they'd be more likely to help if you bought some
Yamalube from them. You need to make sure the necessary safety
equipment is in the ski and also make sure the registration is current
and is supposed to be registered to who ever owns them.
