Default 97 hx

I just bought this ski, I have ridden a few other ski's but this is the first one I have owned.

The ski looks to be in great shape and has been well taken care of, I plan to have it on the water this weekend.
The engine compartment is spotless. I pulled the plugs and went ahead and replaced them, not because they looked bad but they are not expensive. The fuel lines look to have been replaced in the past, everything looks to be in excellent shape.

I understand this not a machine for the novice rider but I would like to know from the experienced riders what else to look for.

What kind of fuel is recomended? What kind of oil do yall use for the mix? Can you seafoam this engine to clean the carb's and valves and how do you do it?

NE help would be much appreciated

If it's stock 87 regular is fine. This machine has the 720 so use SeaDoo mineral oil.

Well I just couldn't wait until the weekend. Yep it is unstable and it is a bit tough to deep water start but man I gotta say , this thing is a rocket. I am very happy for my first purchase.

It runs like a champ and after about 10 min. and a few awkward moments, it is a BLAST to ride, already ready to get back to the lake
