Hi I have just joined and would love some feedback on my situation I own a Sea-Doo SpeedStar 787 twin engine Two stroke jet boat
I have just carried out maintenance on the boat including replacing all fuel lines and oil lines and filters I am now in the process of putting new oil into the oil box reservoir and I wanting some good clear information on bleeding the system I have currently put the oil in running it down the lines and have a lot of air in the system I have removed the oil pump bleed screws on both oil pumps and still have a lot of air in the system and the oil does not seem to be moving.
 
I am sorry I can’t offer Speedster experience; but maybe someone will chime in. An oil fluid pump is super cheap at any auto parts store. I got another smaller one last weekend for 12 bucks. Have you tried or thought about using one to actually pump oil through to purge air?

@Fastonwater ......sometimes the system has to be actuated several times as the lines can burp air. It can be annoying and take a lot of patience. :cool:
