1998 spx intermittent spark

[SPXblake]

Hello, I got a 1998 Sea-Doo SPX and right now it’s been giving me intermittent spark. When I put the key in I get two beeps and will start right up then after about a minute or two it will die out and lose spark. after that, it’s just endless cranking. Ignition coil was tested and replaced for testing purposes and it checks out. Not much corrosion in the black box either. any ideas?
(compression is good)

Disconnect the red wire from the voltage regulator and see if it fixes it. Typically they go bad and cause all kinds of strange electrical issues. THe ski will run fine with it disconnected but you will only be on battery power so once the battery dies so does everything.
