I ride my Seadoo about once per week, but everytime I go to start it, it takes 5-6 seconds. My 2 cycle weed wacker and chain saw start faster than that. The spark plugs are clean and the gap is correct. I would think it should start much quicker. With the choke lever pulled out, I've tried giving it no gas, a little gas and a lotta gas, and it still takes a few seconds. Is this normal?
