93 XP wont turn over easy

Not having a lanyard will not let the engine turn over because the starting circuit is disabled. However when you remove the spark plugs the engine should turn over freely by hand.
When you say you don't get a spark is the engine turning over??
Does your ski have an MPEM or just a kill switch?

Since you can't turn the flywheel your engine is locked up, you won't get a spark unless the engine turns over.
You will probably need a complete rebuild or a crate engine.
It's possible that you could do a top end rebuild, pull the head off and see if you have rust in the cylinders, if you do you will probably need a crank bearings and crank also. If the piston rings are just stuck you might get by with a top end rebuild.

That's a great price, you know thats only the "short block". You will need to take off all the external components off your old engine, like intake, exhaust manifolds, carbs., starter, etc, and put them on the new engine.
I also would get a local mechanic to look at your old engine before I made that jump. Maybe someone on this forum who lives near you. Start a new thread "local mechanic needed". You could have other problems other than the engine is locked. You might save yourself some money in the long run.

I went to the local sea doo dealer. they said I might just have seized crank bearings. they told me to take the old motor out and they could possibly just put new bearings ans seals in the old crank and get it spinning again. so I am trying to get the motor out. I have the exhaust side off and starter out. I was going to leave the intake side on since I cant get to the bolts very easily. but I cant figure out how to unhook the big white "ROTAX" box on the front of the motor its got that big black cord in the top of it. I unscrewed the cord and realized it does not just come unhooked. I wanted to leave that hooked up when I take the whole bottom end to the dealer for them to remove the crank.

For what its worth, I have two '95SPX which sat in a garage for three years also. Both engines were semifroze up. I did use a pipe wrench to get them unfroze and now have had both engines running. No damage by using a pipe wrench in my case... just take it easy. I repaired a VTS, cleaned out fuel system on one and its now OK. The other one had lots of oil in cylinder, but I got it urning over and spitting oil out the plug holes. Finally got it started also and oil smoke was heavy for a few minutes. Now problem is getting carbs off since bolts are stuck.
Looks like you have some idea on the engines. $595 is brand new right? How should eBay be charging?
