Sportster Won't Start

[chinook203]

We have the 2005 Seadoo Sportster (super charger). Forgive me for not knowing all the specs as boyfriend left to get something.

We have been trying to start the boat since last night. It has fire (all 3 plugs), has good compression. We checked the gas and there is no sign of water in the gas or oil. When we hti the start button, it turns fine, but won't start. I know there are better terms, but he left when I went to typing. LOL

We keep checking the wires and all is fine. He's wondering if its getting to much fuel......

switch the fuel selector to "reserve", if your boat has it..then leave the throttle at "wide open", see if then it'll fire. May have flooded it.

Hey thanks for the quick response. I am just coming back in the house. We finally got it started. He lessened the spark gap width and it started trying to turn over. We got new spark plugs and it fires right up now! Something so dang simple after an entire day and afternoon of trying............
Thanks! We've gotten lots of little things fixed just by reading through this forum!
