Alright so I'm having a quick tinker in my lunch break at work, there is oil in the crankcase section marked 'OIL', and the cap doubles as a dipstick
Just blocked the engine oil feed to the crank case, now appears to be idling fine, not pressurising the oil tank, will reset the adjustment on the carb and report back, might not be today though as it is FRIDAY THANK GOD.

Also, I've looked into getting a manual for it, not having a lot of luck, could get brand new for ~$100NZD, I will get it if I have to though.

Cheers for your help.

Actually I looked at mine I put the .2 lt of oil in it. Just don't over fill it or it will out of the exhaust. My bad on the previous post.

Thought I'd pop back with some news, I've been out once more, and she seemed to run as good could be expected of a ski of its age, with the oil feed hose blocked off, but the oil tank became filled with petrol after 2-3 hours use.
So the oil tank is no longer connected at all. All I can figure is that the breather for the oil tank was connected to something it wasn't meant to be.... But with the feed from the oil tank disconnected it ran superbly. Excellent.
Thanks everyone for your help. Its getting colder here so I doubt you'll hear much out of me for a few months.
