I've done some digging via Google, but I haven't found anything fitting my specific issues. So my apologies if this seems repetitive.
I have a 1996 Seadoo Xp 787. My girlfriend was out riding it and cut it off to coast through a no wake zone and it wouldn't restart. We got the ski on a trailer and I noticed at quite a bit of water in the hull, but not so much that it got into any of the electronics. We got it back to the house and it fired up after adding some gas. So I didn't think anything of it. The next weekend I went out to start it up and it wouldn't fire. The starter decided to fail shortly thereafter. Here's what I've done/found thus far: after the starter stopped working, I went ahead and replaced the starter and starter solenoid with brand new parts. I still had no spark, but I had voltage at the white wire going to the coil. Around 24 to 30 volts then it would lower as it was cranking. So I assumed that the ignition coil was the issue. I replaced the coil and still no spark. With the failure of the starter, I assumed that the Magneto and pick up we're likely introduced to water and may be damaged. I removed the cover and a small amount of water came out, but the pickup bracket was still in good shape. I hear they break at times. I decided to go ahead and replace the Magneto and pick up anyways with brand new parts. However, I'm still not getting any spark. The small black ground wire that goes into the ignition coil box has perfect continuity and is properly grounded. All fuses are good, front and rear. Battery is fully charged at around 13 and a half volts and I'm getting two beeps when connecting the mpem key. I went into the mpem box and inspected the wires and connections as well as the mpem, CDI, and rectifier. Everything seems in good shape and nothing is burnt. I'm going to assume this is some kind of controls issue and put the blame on the mpem module, but has anyone seen this problem with these specific issues?
