96 GTX crank but no start

[RED_ROCK_BEETLE]

I've searched to no avail, I'm helping my room mate with his ski and I have hit a bit of a wall, we were riding whin his seadoo died, we thought it was out of gas, so I pulled him to the ramp and we loaded up and left. We filled up and noticed it wasn't empty so we tried to start it and it would crank and crank but not start, I pulled the plugs and am getting spark and it appears to be getting fuel, I put new plugs in and tried a bit of ether but still no start, no trying to start, nothing!


TLDR;
I'm compression, getting spark, but even with starting fluid no firing.

Don’t ever use starting fluid on a 2 stroke . Use premix in a spray bottle. Check compression and post your numbers and we will start from there. Check your secondary ground on your battery.

Also are your fuel lines gray ?

They are grey fuel lines and 10-4 on the starting fluid, I'll try to borrow a compression tester

Need to replace those fuel lines. They breakdown and clog your carbs with green goo that will kill your motor. Then I would clean/rebuild carbs with OEM carb kit not the aftermarket ones that are junk. Replace fuel selector with an OEM one and clean the strainer and replace the o-ring. There is a carb rebuild thread on here that is awesome to follow step by step
