Hello,
I am new to here and new to jetski’s in general.
So I got a 97 GTI. PO said it ran but it would start on its own. When I got there he had the ground cable off the battery. He connected it and it started cranking right off... he thought it was running but I showed him it was just the starter turning it over... I was able to check compression has good compression but no spark. The battery died so he hooked up a charger and put it on 50 Amps to keep trying it. Did that kill the Mpem? I bought it for a good price so no I gotta fix it.
So there is no beep and when I connect the power and it cranks until I disconnect power. I checked the starter Solenoid for continuity with no power and there is none so solenoid should be ok... but why is it still running the starter when powered?
Also I read there should be a small black wire going to battery negative post with the big ground wire... this is not there.?
So any advice would be great
Thanks
Davis
