I got this ski about 3 months ago and have been working on it off and on as I am a busy man. It started out as I couldn’t turn the engine as it was seized. I found that I would be easier to replace and cheaper as well rather than to repair the one I have. So I got a new motor installed it and got a brand new battery and nothing would come on. Found a blown 15amp battery fuse and replaced it after that all electronics were working. So I then tried to start it and this is where the problem I have started I tried to turn it over and it would turn over and stop and turn over and stop over and over again in different intervals of time but when bypassing the solenoid the starter would turn freely and at a correct constant speed making me think either the button or the solenoid was bad I checked the continuity of the button and it was perfectly fine no problems so then I’d think it was the solenoid so the person I got it from didn’t remember to much about it other than where it was as it has sat since 2017 or 2018 either way it had a solenoid in the rear compartment that I switched it out for and tried it and it has the same problem as the other one making the solenoid most likely not the culprit. I’m lost and mostly out of my league in electronics I’m better with the engine side of things. Can any of you help me cause I got no idea and no one I’ve seen has had this problem. Also just to clarify it does start and run it just doesn’t start right and sound horrible when trying to start.
