Just replaced the solenoid went too hook the battery and I went to start it and nothing so I jumped the solenoid to see of it will turn over and it did....its a brandnew solenoid is the brandnew solenoid bad??
I think I have a bad solenoid cuz wen I jump the 2 post and it want to turn overMake sure on your solenoid the 2 red little wires are on the side of the solenoid that is fed by the battery. If they're on the starter side you'll never get anything.
Jumping the solenoid doesn't prove much except that the starter and wiring to the starter is good. You need to see if you are getting power to activate the solenoid when you push that start button. I would guess you are not getting power to the solenoid from the front of the ski. Is the beeper working?
Was working ...I hit a wave and landed pretty hard then it wouldn't want to do anything after thatNo beep ain't working
I guess that battery side I'm not really sure what you mean I'm trying to upload a photo wont let me says failedPlease, verify what side the 2 small red wires are on. Battery side of the solenoid or starter side.
Does the fuel gauge wake up when you pout the lanyard on our press the start button?
So, follow the cable from the battery to the solenoid. There should be 2 small red wires plus the cable from the battery on 1 post. The other post should have one cable that goes to the battery. If the little red wires are on the wrong post/wire you will not function.
Thanks man big help! I'll holla if I got anymore questionThere are 2 fuses near the solenoid. Then with a digital volt meter check continuity from that one coil post that has all the grounds on it (bottom one) and then out on the ground cable at the battery. If you don't , check the ground under the rubber boot at the top of the could housing. That connector can be prone to corrosion
Question I replaced solenoid.. change all fuses when I start it want to start but the o seen the positive on my battery smoking did I do something wrong it dont want to start clean the plugs I didn't realize until I smelled a burning smellThanks man big help! I'll holla if I got anymore question
