97 XP dies like the teather pulled off.

97 XP has been running great all season. Today it just stops as if the kill switch has been pulled. I have cleaned the post and tried my second key with the same problem. Any ideas? Would love to be back on the water today.

Well hopefully you checked to make sure you have gas lol. thats probly what the dumb manuals would say.

how are the pistons, they new or older? do you still have the gray fuel lines on them?

If it will restart... then the post itself has probably gone bad. Inside is a small magnetic switch, and they just give up sometimes.

Sea Doo shortblock About 25 hours ago. Probably the post. Can I change this myself, or is programming required?

Yep
No programming required

Will my DEZ keys work without programing when I change the post?

DES key....

OK, one more time. Yes your key will work with no programming required. Your key is programmed for your MPEM, not your post.

I have just replaced the post. Same problem exists (at least now I have a spare). I would appreciate any other thoughts on where to take this.
