Hello everyone. I inherited a 1997 seadoo speedster about 2 years ago from a tenant that hadn't paid his rent for about a year. I don't know the history of the boat whatsoever. A lot of pressure from my 13 year old and my twin 10 year olds forced me to pull it out of the garage about (2) weeks ago and see what needs to be done to get this baby running. I downloaded the shop & operating manual and went to work. I did a visual inspection of my boat and comparisons of other 1997 seadoo speedster's on the web. It appears that the hull, interior, controls and engine look to be in pretty good shape on my boat. I installed a new battery, drained a small amount of fuel left in the tank, refueled, filled the oil with (2) gallons of (2) cycle oil. I then followed the starting procedure as laid out in the operation manual. Made sure the the boat was neutral, throttles powered down to idle, installed garden hose to engines, put the key on the post (Heard 2 beeps), ran the fan for (4) minutes, pressed the start button on engine #1 and heard (4) beeps, tried engine #2 and heard the same (4) beeps. Holding either start button down for a few seconds just got me the repeated pattern of (4) beeps. Checked all the fuses which were good. Don't want to dump a lot of money in this boat. Any ideas where to start would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
