starting issues

Hey friends of Sea-Doo, I've been relying heavily on other's posts for the last two weeks and now need help of my own! Long-story: Bought a 1997 GTS two weeks ago. It was sitting outside for a year prior to purchase, so I added some iso-heet to the tank and filled it up (probably 2 gallons...

I have an issue with my 97 seadoo speedster. The issue is with one of my 717's. Its having issues starting..and when it starts, the rpms are maxing out at about 3.5k to 4k on full throttle. Why?

We have a sea doo and we just used it last summer but now we tried to start it and it wouldn’t start. It wasn’t the battery. Kept trying and it started for a second, and then stopped. Then it started MAJORLY backfiring. So loud! Stubborn as we are we continue a couple more times and then stop...

Life was good a couple weeks ago, and then suddenly NOT. Story goes - bought a used 2000 Seadoo GTX a couple weeks ago.... ran good. First thing I did was buy a new battery. 4 days ago "12 Volt maintenance" came on and I lost throttle power after riding for 10mins. After hours of Google and...

Hi, i have a 1995 sea-doo hx and every time that I try starting it I have to spray starter fluid into the carbs. When I get it started it stays running, but as soon as I shut it off and let it sit for awhile it wont start without the fluid. I don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated.

Im a new member. Love the site so far. I have a fantastic 1997 Sea Doo XP that is currently starting and running fine. My problem is that sometimes when I'm out riding and park it floating in the water for a half an hour for a beer or something and it wont start. It happened two...

Hey everybody thanks for opening up my thread! My dad and I just bought a Sea-Doo GTI SE 155 2007, and we have been having a few minor start up issues. We first will put the key in, and 2 beeps will occur, then after the "System Maintenance" phase 4 beeps occur, and occasionally it says "12V...

Hello I am new to the forum and needed some help finding a disco'd part. I have a mechanic working on my Challenger and he broke the part of the fuse block where the power goes into it. This block is located under the storage compartment in front of the steering wheel. It has the bilge...
