Hello All,
I still have only the 95 XP running. The 96 was cranking fine and idling fine in the water but any quick amount of throttle would lead to a dead ski. I have been troubleshooting it and was on the last thing I knew to try which was to change the rectifier out. I will post a bogging thread at another time with all of the things I have done to address that issue, but now I am trying to figure out what I did wrong and also identify a random spring that I found in the hull on the right side of the gas tank.
1) Rectifier Issue - So my aftermarket rectifier had the wires which were not in the same order as the colored wires on the original rectifier but each had the same number of male/female yellow wires (2 male and 1 female). I plugged the two yellow male wires in not knowing which wire was supposed to go to what since the wire order on the rectifiers was different. Now I get a 2-beep when putting the DESS key on the post, but the beep is VERY faint, so I either did something wrong with the rectifier or connected the mpem box wiring wrong? Before I take it all apart again, does anyone know if the rectifier controls the volume of the beep or is there an entirely different problem now?
Old rectifier:
New Rectifier:
TLDR: beep from putting key on post is very quiet now - does the rectifier control that?
2) I found the below spring in the hull on the right side of the gas tank. I do not know what it goes to but I imagine it is very important. I have gone through the parts list but can't find it. I put the whistle in the pic to hopefully help with size perception of the spring.
Thank you as always.
