It beeps but it won't start

[patlance]

Hi Guys,
I have my Sea Doo in my garage right now as I'm winterizing it myself this year. Two days ago I started it up for about 5 seconds. I did the same thing yesterday. Well today I put the lanyard in and it beeped as usual but it won't start. It does nothing......any thoughts?

Your battery may just be dead. Charge it up and try again. If it is turning over, make sure your gas was turned on.

If in your winterization process you sprayed a bunch of lube in the cylinders, this may make it hard to fire at first. Keep cranking the starter at 5-10 second intervals with 15-30 second breaks in between. It should eventually fire up.

Start with those basics and report back. Try giving a bit more detail next time. "does nothing" is kinda vague and ambiguous.

EDIT: I would add that if you did spray lube in the cylinders already and intend to run it, you will want to spray lube in the cylinders again. Your gonna burn off what you sprayed in there. You will want to spray lube in there and crank the starter a few time with the caps off the plugs to get it nice and lubed up in there and then NOT run the machine again until you de-winterize it.
