So I’m looking at buying this 97 Sea-Doo GSI but they guy says it’s not getting spark. Here’s what he says is happening. “Turns over but gets no spark, missed a couple times last year, Got it out this month and started up an ran. The next day it wouldn’t start.”

Any ideas thanks in advanced
 
Well it depends on what you’re looking for... If you want a ski to ride, skip this one. A good running ski is less expensive than buying a non running ski and fixing it 90% of the time... On the other hand, if you enjoy a good project, it’s absolutely worth restoring if you can buy it cheap enough and have some mechanical ability. Just always plan on having to replace at least a motor when you buy a non-runner. That way if you find a simple fix or can save the parts that are in it, you’ll already be ahead...

As for the no spark situation, there are several different causes, but I don’t ever trust a diagnosis from someone selling a ski. If they knew what was really going on, they’d fix it and sell it as a running ski... You’ll have to start at the beginning with a compression test, and then move on from there if the numbers are good.
