2011 seadoo rxpx 255 not starting

[Philzy123]

2011 Seadoo rxpx 255 won’t start. I just sold the ski to a couple of guys and they sent me a video of it not starting. They Dropped it in at the boat ramp and rode for 15 minutes without any issues. Went to start again to take it for a ride and it sort of ticks over and then stops, beeps and says check engine. Really strange as this has never happened to me before. See one drive link for the video of the issue? Could they have potentially sucked something up? Thanks in advance IMG_7969.MOV

The beeps are a code of sorts, and did you pull the fault codes ? Google both.

Def possible they sucked up something. Ran it in low shallow water with sand, seaweed. Who knows. Especially if the new owner has not had skis before. They could have even held it WOT for the entire run. Not saying this happened but in the water anything is possible. Also I see it’s right at the 102 hr mark. Was the supercharger ever rebuilt? That’s right about when they let go. If someone treats it with care maybe longer but if it’s being hammered on sooner. Endless possibilities but if it were me I would feel bad but at the same time once it’s in another persons hands it’s out of my control and a 10yr old machine is bound to have some problems and need maintenance

Being a 2011 model, that SC should have been rebuilt at least 5 times. Every 2 years or 100 hours, whichever comes first.
