SeaDoo cranks but doesn’t start

[1996samseadoo]

I’ve put a battery in it and it turns just fine but I think i’m not getting any gas or oil to the carbs to fire it. Should I pour some gas into the carbs directly or what? They’ve been sitting for two years untouched. Any help? Thanks!

Did you remember to put the 2nd small ground wire on the Neg post when you swapped the battery. The 96 GSX has the 2nd wire, pretty sure your ski does too?

There is no 2nd wire.

Alright so I poured just a little bit of premix into the carbs to see if it’d fire and sure enough it did. My next question is gonna be how do I prime the carbs ? Thanks

If everything is correct they will prime themselves pretty quickly.

If they don't self prime you have a fuel system issue.
