Hey all,
Im having a pretty odd issue with my ski, I just bought this unit not running. 1st off, the engine is cranking very slow. When I got it the ground cable was missing so I replaced it. When I hooked power to it the first time it just started trying to spin over but everytime it hits compression it stops for a second and then gets past it. So, my first thought was it needed a starter. I installed a good known oem starter from a friend of mine. That wasnt the issue. in order to remedy the cranking issue I threw a solenoid at it simply because theyre cheap and the one on it looked crusty. That still was not the issue, I cleaned all grounds in the electrical box as well as the engine. I have tested continuity on the battery cables. They came up with a .1 on my meter I believe but plan to recheck them since I already ordered new cables. Nothing on the dash, no beep when the non-DESS key is hooked on (not sure if its supposed to beep), I am pretty mechanically inclined and work on a lot of ATV's and this has me stumped. I found a good deal on a MPEM and have ordered that since this one has some what looks like slightly melted spots where wires come out. Any help is great, thank you!
