Yamaha gp800 clicking / solenoid.

Ski came in with a clicking solenoid.

Man I thought that engine was done when you said low compression. Didn’t know that rings would stick after sitting awhile. Good to know because I’ve got an xlt1200.

[@johniepointer8236]

I got a yamaha gp800 and I have an ignition problem, selenoid clicking , but what I see is that it makes a different noise than the one in the video, Do I have to check something else first or do I definitely have to replace the solenoid?

[@865-customz]

Use a test light or volt meter to check for 12 volts. Hook a volt meter to the ground and the positive to the primary power wire on the solenoid there will be 2. One is constant 12v the other side will show 12v once the start button is pushed. If there is no voltage once the start button is pushed the solenoid is bad. If it shows 12v then the starter is bad or engine is locked.

@@865-customz it’s a new battery but I’ll change it for a new one

[@865-customz]

@@ernestl709 If the other battery does the same thing / tighten all the connections on the battery and solenoid. A loose wire could cause it but usually the battery.

Got a 98 gp800 and it runs fine but just started not revving up to power it will start and put around but if you pull on throttle it will only go like half of that. The impeller is not jammed up any idea?

[@865-customz]

is the engine erving to full rpm and the ski just doesn’t go above half speed ? or does the rpm’s not increase.

[@Xprototype12x]

@@865-customz it won’t rev to full rpm it was fine last season then Al of a sudden it won’t rev up full rpm to pick up speed

[@865-customz]

Check and see if the power-valve motor is turning the pv wheel while revving the engine. It could also be a carburetor issue. unfortunately sever things can cause that.

140lb psi one one an 60 on the other it's not goin to run

[@865-customz]

No it will not run on 60 psi.
