2000 xp wont start

[lesliewood3]

i am new to owning a seadoo and have had a bunch of trouble.

i pulled the seadoo off the trailer and drove it to the cove. It filled up with water and wouldnt start. so i took it home and drained all the water. i then took the spark plugs off and tried to fire it up and blow the water out. It blew a bunch of water out. i sprayed wd40 in and let it set for a couple days. i replaced the spark plugs and replaced the battery and it kicked over but won't start. it sounds like it is going to start, but something is locked up or something. i took the spark plugs off and there is still a little bit of water blowing out of the wholes when i try to start it. Do i need to keep doing it until water doesnt come out at all anymore? someone help please

Typically when you get water inside the engine of your seadoo, you want to get it started asap so it won't cause corrosion internally. You need to get it started asap to prevent any more corrosive damage. Place the spark plug caps on the grounding post and remove the spark plugs. Keep turning it over till you get all the water out. Only use the starter for a few seconds at a time so it won't over heat. Install fresh spark plugs in the engine and get it started. Keep at it. If the battery power charge it back up Don't jump start it as it will cause electrical problems If you do charge it, either disconnect the battery wires or remove it from the seadoo. The battery needs to have a good charge to fire it up. Attach the hose and get it started. After it fires up, open the hose so it cools while its running on the hose. Don't run it for more than 5 minutes as the bearings and seals in the jet pump, will get hot out of the water. The best thing is running it on the water to get all the water out of the engine.

I had the same problem today! Did you get yours running? Have you taken it back out?
