Here goes the first post !
My problem is this . I recently bought a 1997 Seadoo XP and was told that the starter needed to be replaced because it seized up over winter. To make sure it wasn't the solenoid, i crossed the terminals on the solenoid to bypass it and still nothing. I took the starter out and tried connecting a battery straight up to the starter outside of the seadoo and yet again....NOTHING. At this point I was pretty confident it was the starter. So today I replaced it and now it cranks but only for like half to one full revolution then nothing. I also put new spark plugs in today at the same time. I hooked the positive and ground cables to my car (engine off) to see if i had a bad battery but it did the same thing as it did with the seadoo battery. I took the plug out and turned the shaft free hand and it turned no problem so i know it isn't seized. Any ideas on what it could be and how to troubleshoot if it is that or not ?
