Default Nice Administrator

This is the worst forum i've ever seen. I own another boat and the forum helps fellow owners out. Here, the ADMINISTRATOR suggests to "READ THE MANUAL" .... wow ... REALLY?

Go ahead an bump me from this poor excuse for a forum. Show some pride PWC owners and quit just viewing these things .. help each other out.

You can buy a pump that will suck the oil out through the dip stick insertion point. Check Overtons, West Marine, etc. Any other issues or concerns i'd suggest you find another forum.

Honda tells you where to buy the pump from? You must have one of their new "advertiser" version book.

And what is wrong with confirming with the guy how that is how it is done in the real world.

The manual also tells you if you touch the spark plug tip to just replace it b/c it won't work anymore. Do you do that everytime? Do you check your oil everytime you ride? Do you spray the throttle body everytime you ride? How does that Honda cleaner work on your PWC? Come on...

There is often a difference between what the manual says and the tricks of the trade people come to these forums to learn about.

reason why the tip, it is iridium

you should spray t-body, Honda's are known for corrosion

Every Fill Up? or Every Ride as in manual -- the manual is the bible brother ... from Honda's printer to our eyes ... blessed are we who can live its words. You may go to Yamaha hell for your misteps.

I apologize for thinking an online forum is a place to get more "real life" knowledge than is available through Honda's manual. Apparently PWCforum is a place for those who are deathly afraid to live. I'll go to confession and cleanse my soul before coming back.

Better yet, you keep administering this fine "hang out" .. i'll find a place where folks give a crap about trully helping each other out.

BTW... just like a halogen bulb, you can touch an iridium tipped spark plug and it will still work.
