Hello All
Im new to this forum but having looked through loads of posts i carnt find the answers to the problems i am having with my 97 xp. Ill start at the beginning last year i used the ski earlier in the year with no problems left the ski for a month or so, i started it just briefly onshore and it started fine i then left it for another month and it would not turn over. The main issue is the ski will not turn over with either one or both spark plugs in but will turn over nice without them in. Things i have tested i bought a new starter motor and battery still no change. i took the head off and there does not seem to be any corrosion. the pto turns over by hand also which convinces me the engine is not seized. also did a compression test and got approx 145 on both. i have bypassed all the electrics and run the battery directly to the starter to rule out an electrical issue but again no change. please help any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Cheers Neil
