found it was indeed the diode. Replaced it and she ran well for about 5 hrs yesterday. But now the fuel gauge has stopped working.....

I am looking to sort my 5amp fuse blowing issues. I have yet to replace the diode to see if this is the issue. In looking on how to do this i ran across a tread on anther side that mentioned drilling trough the diode to break the short and then running an external diode between the red/purple...

Thanks, I am going to try all these tips before repairing. If repairing doesn't work are any of the aftermarket Mpem worth buying?

I did not check the yellow wires continuity to ground. I will check that tomorrow. Found this thread about checking the mpem....https://www.seadooforum.com/threads/1997-gtx-787-stator-problem.44405/ I may check the voltage coming through thats blowing the 5amp fuse like the OP did in the linked...

also the rectifier has only 3/4 yellow wires and one red wire. Where is the black wire to disconnect?

i could not get to the pins at the stator so I tested them where they connected to the regulator. When i tested each pair i got am ohm reading of 0.000.

tested the outside two and and got no overload but its damn hard trying to get those pins the way engine sits? any easy tips other and cuss and fuss? And now the rains from Christobol has started so I gave up for tonight. Ill move it under cover tomorrow between the showers and try again.....

does the battery need to be disconnected for these test? And test the stator like video it shows? headed out to try that now....

so the thought process is that it might be the stator and not the mpem?

internet says 278003311

unplugged the stator. installed a new fuse and it didn't blow.... also didn't get any beeps when the key was installed. plugged in the stator and fuse pops..... still no beeps

No VTS..... I explained to him thats why we pull the batteries to charge instead of charging them in the skis as well. Was reading abut the diode that can be replaced. Would this be the item or the whole mpem? Are aftermarket ones available? What exactly does the mpem do?

update.... oldest son just said.... "why don't we just use the big battery charger with the 12v start to make sure its not the battery?" I told him " We can't jump the batteries in these like that". He got quiet and said "Oh". I was like really dude, did you do that?......answer is yes. So is...

Pulled my 97 GTX out of storage. Charged the battery. The battery was left disconnected while in storage. Hooked it back up and tried to start it. Fired over a few times, then went dead. Had no power to anything. Found the 5amp fuse in the mpem blown. Replaced it 3 times and it would blow every...

Its on the list for repairs along with everything else now. On the last outing though, the wheel and tire are hotter than the hub. So unless the wheel can suck out heat faster than the hub i wouldn't think its the hub. There was a noticeable difference in the temp between the tire/wheel and hub...
