Hello, so as title says.. I took my jetski out today and it’s fired right up for the first start. I rode it and I told runs great. We have a couple of people taking turns riding so we kill it and restart the engine every time we switch out riders. So we probably restarted the engine 5ish times total. Going on the 6th start, the engine doesn’t start.. it makes a ticking noise and a little bit of a humming noise but doesn’t start.
So, that’s the end of the fun for the day.. we let it dry out for a couple hours and try to start it out of the water at home and it starts.. so I’m assuming something is getting wet or something is corroded and it just needs to dry out in order to start again..
Another thing, is a little bit of water normal in the engine bay? Are GTX DIs water cooled? How would you drain this water, I’m thinking this little bit of water isn’t causing he engine to not start?? I’m not sure.
Any feedback on my issue here would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
