Andy what you need to do is check the wires from the external coil to the spark plug. I would remove the spark plug cap and cut off 1/4 " off the wire and re-install the cap and see if you get spark. If is only 1 not sparking it might be in the coil or wire to that plug. If you still need help let us know.
For future problems you need to add your model and year to your avatar to help get a quicker answer so we know exactly your seadoo is. Use mine as an example.

You can test it with a ohm meter. The specs are in the manual.

Also, search as there have been many threads with good info in them already
