Help!! 99 XP won't start.

[XP 787]

Yes DC. IMO sounds like a battery/starter issue as stated earlier. I had a similar issue when I first got my ski thought it was a weak battery but it ended up being a weak starter. It would crank and start fine the first time but if I shut it off it wouldn't turn the motor over. Seadoo's like fresh batteries also preferably an AGM.

Brand new battery, AMG. While running, 12.65 V DC and 44.5 mV AC.

That could be just battery voltage. What happens when you rev the engine?

Voltage goes up.

Okay guys, hate to do this but I'm dropping her off at the shop Wednesday for a diagnostic to find out why my baby is sick. Hopefully it's nothing big, and I feel like and idiot afterward.

Took it to the shop yesterday and explained the problems I've been having. The mechanic said something about the servo? What is this? I can't find anything online about it. He said he'd hook it up to the computer ad check out if it's throwing any codes.

It sounds like your "mechanic" might not have a clue. These do not have a servo. Also as far as it throwing and codes, I am pretty sure these do not store any codes like a car would. The only sensors these carb 951's have are a temp sensor for overheating and a crank trigger for the ignition. These are not like a car with OBDII that are monitoring all the sensors and systems and can trigger error codes.

As far as I know the only ones that can store trouble codes are the RFI and DI fuel injected models.

Lets hope he knows what he is doing and solves your issues.
