They never made a aftermarket MPEM for the GSI. Its just a dead beeper.
Yeah they claim it, but there no place to plug in the gauge

I do actually. If its a true gsi it would have a lcd gauge which was the extra connector. They will run without the gauge obviously.
Unfortunately this has been one of the harder ones to find and keep in stock. One year one model and it seems that one likes to have the starter solenoid always on failure and the accessories never turn off failure.

This ski gives two beep from Dess key, starts, then dies... Runs for a second. Took a MPEM from another ski, wired it in, ski starts right up and runs fine.... All fuses in MPEM are fine... Anybody ever hear of a MPEM going bad and doing this????

Is it a 97 MPEM? I had one that was similar. Not sure about yours, but mine had the CDI built in and I think the CDI part was bad. Is it a big one piece unit? Mine was a 787 problem though. Post a pix. Replaced the MPEM and all is good. Problem is it is a very pricy MPEM. Tonka may have one, and he will accept them back for a minor restock charge if it does not fix you problem.

yes this GSI has the stock MPEM, part number 278000928. I'm buying a spare from Tonka in a week or two, they are getting hard to find, but just wanted to trouble shoot this one to see if I have a true MPEM problem. DESS key gives two beeps, ski starts and runs for a second or tow, then dies........all connections in rear black box are clean and tight. When I wire in a different MPEM in a gray box from another 717 ski, she starts right up and runs fine.......
As I said earlier the gsi mpem is a wild one...all sorts of weird problems I've seen specifically with the gsi mpem. But soccer dad is prob right... The cdi part of the mpem is bad, but the rest is fine. That happens a fair amount on the 97s...the gsx and the xp.

Toss it. I have no way of testing for cdi issues. That's just another reason to buy electronics from us... If there is an issue we will take care of it without a bunch of bs like some of the clowns on ebay.
