GS Starting problems

[luish]

I have a Sea-Doo with a 717 motor in it. It ran well and everything but, after 4 weeks without starting it, I found the starter was broken. I took out the starter and fixed it. Today i installed it and when i pushed the start/stop button it tried to start but stopped right away. The impeller shaft even moved a little. Then I started to push the button constantly and the ski started after a while. Then I moved the DESS key while pushing the start button and it cranked and stopped like 5 times. Any idea? please help me!!!

Luish,
Sounds like you're having the same problem that I am. I have a thread called starting problems and Bills has helped me a bit, but please let me know if you find the fix here...

It may sound crazy but for me it was an easy fix. I checked everything fallowed all my cables to see if i had an electrical problem, removed my starter, installed it back, checked if the engine was stuck, etc, etc. The only thing i didn't check was the battery it had 11.99v so it needed charging. I Charged it and presto. I fixed my problem. Don't know if this is helpful but it's what i did. This ski hasn't been on water yet i have only ran it by hose. It runs great I only need to see how it works on water. Hope you can fix your ski soon!
