Just a heads up when you put the screw driver across both posts on the solenoid the starter will turn over without pushing the starter button. Your putting power straight to the starter
@oneeyedrone42934 жыл бұрын
lol yes spot on, whats the point of pushing the start button if youre jumping the whole circuit with a screw driver ?? gonna get a hell or a noise while reaching for the start button ... and start is already cranking (if starter is good). Pretty basic stuff covered here, cant really own a jet ski if you dont know things in this video. These issues occur on all 2stroke and 4 strokes since they use basically identical starter solenoids. most of the time, its the DESS post ive found or an issue with the key. Starters on the 787 motor die every year, so I just keep the part number handy for the local dealer, $300 every year or so for a genuine BRP unit.

had a similar issue. got the 2 beebs but the start stop wasn't working and my compass direction wasn't indicating. i located the middle plug on my computer where those wires were routed to and i found 2 pins that were not touching their sockets. i didn't think there was anything wrong because i tone tested the start stop switch. i re set those pins by pushing them in and wala!!!!! it all works. the certified sea doo mechanic that replaced the computer never found the issue and said it was faulty. Don't always trust them. do some work until your problem. what made me find it was that the owner ( my neighbor) always had trouble with the switch and never had the compass working. so don't always assume the switch is bad.

Could it possible be my start stop switch, some of the connections in the box look corroded but I wouldn’t think there corroded enough to make it not start, also changed all my leads from the starter to box and the ground and positive to the battery.

Hi Shane, usually if that fuse keeps blowing you have a short to ground somewhere. I would check two things assuming you have a seadoo xp or something with similar components.

@jimmiller73865 жыл бұрын
Ok... several things. First, if you're attempting to do a how to video with electrical items using DC, please be mindful of pos and negative connections. Next, you did A LOT of this out of order. First thing you check is the DESS (key). Should give 2 fast beeps in normal conditions. This is a diagnostic system. No beeps, (or different pattern) indicate next step. If no beeps, first ensure battery power is at the nominal 12VDC USING PROPER POLARITY to ensure against a polarity reverse issue. If power is good, go to DESS post. Post ohms should be infinity without key and about 1 ohm with key. If good, and all beeps are in order and a "no crank" conditions continues, open the electrical box near the VTS and check fuses. And power on the INPUT side of the solenoid. Replace bad fuses and try again. If issue continues, recheck fuses. A bad starter, solenoid, battery (even reading 12VDC but with low cranking amps) or short may be your problem if fuses continue blowing. If fuses are Good, and the is still no beeps, try removing the DESS and press the START/RUN 5 times, and listen for beeps. This is a secondary diagnostic system. If no beeps present, continue troubleshooting. If beeps are present, your DESS maybe the issue. Good to dealer aaaaand have them make a new DESS. ($20) Open the grey box in the front near the fuel tank. In this box, 1 side contains the MPEM and the other contains a bunch of wires a relay and other devices. Check the 3 fuses here. Replace bad ones and observe and correct any water damage. Note the 2 posts with black wires bolted to them. These adre the ground for this part of the jet ski and the ground wire coming from here often breaks. If after repairing water damage and checking fuses, a no beeps condition persists, run a jumper from either ground post back to the battery and try using your DESS again. If no beeps continue, and all wiring is good, the culprit may be you MPEM. Once 2 beeps are confirmed, proceed to next part. Apply DESS and using test light or multimeter, read voltage on OUTPUT of solenoid. Should be ~0vdc. Press start/ stop button while testing and voltage should jump to 12vdc. If not, continue to next paragraph. If it does go to 12vdc, then either the wires going to the starter have a problem, or the starter is defective. Disconnect 2 wire connector going into solenoid and using test light or multimeter with good ground, check for power on the yellow/red wire. It should be ~12vdc. Also, inspect the connector for water damage (common problem). If power is present, then the solenoid is defective and should be replaced. If no power at this wire while pressing start, disconnect the wires under the handle bars for the start stop button and test with multimeter. When button is not pressed, ohms should be infinite. When pressed, resistance should be~1 ohm. If defective, replace button and try again. If problem persists, check wiring between button and solenoid, or between "point a and point b" were power isn't present. DO NOT ARC ACROSS SOLENOID AS YOU RISK DAMAGING THE STARTER, BATTERY, SOLENOID AND IN THE EVENT OF A SHORT, YOU RISK BODILY HARM FROM BATTERY EXPLOSION. And I will be making a proper video to detail all of this. Sub to me for the video. It will be posted by June of 2019.

@Shawn F look. Im going to be honest. I'm dealing with some shit and haven't even been able to ride my ski let alone take a video of it. I'm dealing with some legal stuff. I'm a firefighter and some people are attempting to steal from a non-profit some men from my department set up a long time ago....
