96 gsx seadoo starter click

[DerekI]

Before I lose my s*** and sell my Sea-Doo I went to charge my battery today and start the do with 13 volts and all's I got was a click click please tell me it's a starter nothing more I've had so many issues with this and fed up if it's more than a starter I wish to sell but would like the opinion first thank you if you have one

I'd bridge the lugs on the starter solenoid and see if the starter turns the engine over. If it does it could just be the solenoid. Just went thru this yesterday.

I will check it today. Thanks. Easier if it was that for sure. Thanks

I'd remove the plugs before jumping it. If hydrolocked, you could bend a rod...remove plugs, and turn pro by hand. If locked, remove pump then turn motor again

It's definitely the starter I had nothing over the solenoid to the starter I had 12 volts but nothing happened with the starter

Suspect the wire going to the starter as well while your at it.

Repair OEM starters, avoid cheap aftermarket starters, They will fail or break much sooner than you'd think.

OEM starters are discontinued and if I can get it rebuilt I will. Thanks. I was gonna check the wiring as well. It's the darn air filter that's gonna be the tricky part to get out. Anyway I start it 2mrw. Fingers crossed lol
