finally put new engine in my spx and stuck key in and no beep so i replaced and now only way to get beep is hold start button down a little and it beeps. got ski to start up and an hour later absolutley nothing. fiddled with rear electrical box and replaced fuse (15amp) and it started . then tried again an hour later and nothing. took out the new rectifier and put in old one and it started again. i put it in lake and tried to start it and nothing and finally without doing anything it started up and went about 50 yards and quit. i let current bring me back to shore and i poped seat off and smoke was coming from starter or wire from starter , not sure yet. i disconnected battery and left with tail between my legs. i should have never bought this ski but it was the cleanest spx i have ever seen even though it had a blown motor. any ideas out there where to start. also my vts is completely disconnected cause it dont work. i believe this ski was riden in the ocean at one time. i cant give up on it cause i got to much time and $ in it.
