2000 Sportster LE - single 951 Silver. Bought 2001 used. Dealer bellied up, 150 miles to nearest 'sportboat' dealer now. 2004 replaced MPEM late season after DWD/no restart. Returned home to find no gauges situation - all else okay ran well. Dealer said would stand behind work, return next spring okay. Stored and returned to dealer service May 2005. Dealer says mpem faulty, timer in-op, no warranty. Bombardier confirms no warranty on electrical. Boat operates well through 2008, no gauges & need to switch battery off when not in use.
This June fails to chirp 2x when lanyard installed, but boat still starts. Occasionally, 2x chirp returns. Both switch and lanyard kill engine. This weekend drove once no problem. Next time at ramp, w/ engine cold, started engine, ran briefly, stalled and began to beep continuously when pressing starter. Took home, retried in d/way - same continuous beeping. Hard to figure overheating without running.
Today called local guy with SeaDoo programmer - gone until July 1. Backed boat into my shop, turned battery on. 2 chirps and starts fine. Aaaaargh!
Any advice on ground locations I might check - or anything else?
