Howdy folks. This is my first post here.
I recently picked up a pair of 50 hour-ish 2010 RXT215's.
First thing I did is install new batteries (now kept on tenders) and a fresh tank (~12 gallons) of 89 oct gasoline in both.
Also did an oil/filter change and supercharger rebuild (early at 50 hours, but figured it was time due to age ~12 yrs).
Pulled the valve cover to clean and inspect. Old oil seemed clean and the inside of the valve cover looked just fine.
Replaced plugs with New NGK spark plugs (old plugs looked excellent - could have re-used).
Also inspected all hoses, connectors, and cleaned/wiped down everything I could get my hands on.
Ski "A" starts and idles. Gives me hope this one is ok to go in the water soon.
Ski "B" seems to have more of a "history" even though they are within an hour of each other. It will not crank on its own.
I hear the two beeps, press start and hear a click (relay). Then the display goes blank or resets.
No matter what sequence it goes through, it wont go beyond the relay click.
Sometimes it will display "check engine" and the check engine light flashes before power goes off almost immediately after.
Other times it will display "Limp Home Mode". Then within a second, power goes off.
Seems very strange and not repeatable in any order.
I have jumped across the starter solenoid and the starter cranks very strongly without hesitation. Gives me some hope the engine isn't toast (along with clean old oil/plugs).
Swapped the solenoid from "A" to "B" and still behaves the same. No crank on its own, display dies quickly.
Any thoughts to try before giving up and taking it in?
Thanks in advance!
