But, here are a few options. more
why not just use a section of fuel tubing and siphon it out? pretty easy.

Kawasaki 750sx 92'

I do this through the tank itself by removing the filler tube, (only takes about 45 seconds to get that off usually) but I guess with a flexible enough hose maybe you could go through the hull/gas cap. more
So about this issue, I phoned the dealer today and explained the issue very precisely. They came to one conclusion: the oil that I used for burn-in directly in the tank could be causing this issue (even if I followed the manual specifications). They told me to keep the plugs clean and ride the ski to empty that one tank and then add fresh gasoline. They tell me that the BRP Synthetic 2-stroke oil is very dense and that it may be having a hard time mixing in the tank therefore clogging the jet intermittently. When I try to resume speed and it won't go, I just cruise at 10 mph to the shore, wait 15 minutes and then high jet is at work again.
i've used the $7 HF siphon pumps with no issues (time consuming but effective) more
otherwise, i don't see any harm in just adding fresh gas now that your 1/3 empty, make your best guess at the ratio, i'd rather you have too much oil than too little. here
As for the carbs, I found out that the high speed jet doesn't want to kick in when the ski is hot (well, after 5 minutes. ). When cold, the ski jumps like a rocket. And if I cold start it and stay above 20 mph, the jet will work just nicely for a long period (actually, I usually get tired of going at that speed after 30 minutes). The spark plugs have only little influence on it. here
I also second the fact that if your not able to get past 15mph, your issues with the carb/fuel delivery is more important than the oil/gas ratio at the moment. They should take precedence.

And to add to my misery, I added too much of "burn-in" 2-stroke oil in the tank by mistake (so now the ski is smoking too much). 20 US gallons is a long way to burn with too much oil and the spark plugs are becoming dirty after 30 minutes. I already burned 1/3 of the tank but I am tired of changing the plugs every 30 minutes.
Plus, gas was so cheap, nobody much cared
