Recently got a 1996 sea doo spi project. Had not been in water for couple years, replaced mpem as it was blown. Rebuilt carb. Started in shop for about 5 seconds with slight rev-up on three different occasions. Took it to water and had to choke it started and died couple times. Dd get it to start and rev up a few seconds. Then it would start and die right way. Then it went to make a sound like the starter was not able to turn due to low battery. The battery was new in may. Charged it overnight next day went out and same sound when trying to start. Took plug out of mag side and it will crank, put it back in and sounds like starter/ battery weak. Cleaned all battery terminals and cables no change.
Any suggestions would be great. Acts like timing is off but why dry land starts and hard starts in water?
