Hi everyone, I have been reading forums here for weeks now trying to figure out this 1996 Seadoo but I’m a little lost where to go from here.
It was given to me, it sat for several years outside not used & exposed to the elements but the inside is pretty clean - no mouse nests, water sitting etc... leads me to believe the carb, as it probably wasn’t stabilized.
New battery, plugs, pumped out gas and refilled, topped off oil. Electric box in the rear looks new. Oil injector still in place - aka not premix gas
I am somewhat mechanically inclined but learning..just got a multimeter for this project. Lanyard beeps twice which I heard is good, dash does NOT light up but the motor cranks slowly (see video). Remember new battery and I charge it everytime after troubleshooting. I can smell gas. No spark when I pull one out and ground it on a sanded down surface on the head but also no liquid comes out the spark plug hole as I heard might happen.
Eventually the jetski beeps when I try to start, I believe telling me the battery is low. So I go charge it and try again tomorrow....see video 2
What should I do next ? Based on the video any hunches?
I was gonna start by just checking all wires for continuity, then try the carb soak/clean which I have done in a mower but not a ski.
Thank you in advance for any and all help!
