You might want to check the drive signal and the ground at the base of the ignition coil in the rear electrical box. The drive signal (white wire) I believe can be tested with a test light to see if it flashes while cranking. There is a small ground wire that connects to the base of the coil and...

Thanks to all for the quick responses.

I used some rubber adhesive I had but it did not hold. I should be getting a new part by Wednesday. Does anyone know if for a couple of days is it ok to ride with it leaking? The siphons seem to keep up with the leak.

Thanks Miki. I texted Nick. I will look into getting E6000 or similar

Could use some quick advice on temporary fix and replacement for a leaking water control valve bellows on a 96 GTX. I'm on vacation and called dealers who need to order over 10 days. I see parts on ebay for new replacements but shipping over holiday weekend. Would someone like Westside Power...

There is a schematic for your ski in the 96 shop manual that can downloaded at seadoomanuals.net

Since replacing the MPEM is probably costly and time consuming (getting key reprogrammed if it is not supplied with MPEM) I would check the following before replacing it Check the physical ground connection to the block by removing it and inspecting the mating surfaces. You measured a low...

Since you stated the all the gauges shut off when it stops cranking and come back on when it resumes cranking I think it would be a worthwhile check of what appears to be the main ground and power connection for the MPEM on a schematic for a 2002 GTX: Connector 3 pin 24 and 26. It does not show...

You might try shorting across the start solenoid to see if the starter runs continously or has an issue.

Sometimes there is just some corrosion holding the pump on the mounting plate. Someone may have used an rtv sealant the last time the pump was off which makes it difficult. You can try to use the L shaped end of a pry bar to carefully try to wiggle each mounting tab away from the mounting plate...

I had a problem where sometimes it would not start after sitting a long time. I was convinced it was the CDI and bought 2 units with the same result. One of the new CDIs gave me the 4 beeps which made me suspect the holder relay even though I had run the same tests you did. What I did was attach...

Does your ski start and run sometimes? Did you check for spark if it does not start?

There is a way to test the holder relay in the shop manual. Basically, check the 5A fuse on the relay. Remove the relay and measure that there is continuity between the purple-blue stripe wire and the black wire (this is the coil of the relay). Then measure that there is no continuity (open...

Was the drive shaft alignment checked when you reinstalled the engine? If not then that could be a problem. You could check the condition of the impeller and wear ring and the clearance between them. If the condition and clearance checks out but the impeller still does not spin freely then you...

The small oil lines that feed oil from the oil pump I believe are tygon and are usually transparent so you can see the oil flow and if bubbles are present. The black fuel line are standard automotive fuel lines. If you go through the trouble to remove and open the carb to clean it you should...

If it still has the gray fuel lines going to and from the carb then they need to be replaced by standard black fuel lines and the carb rebuilt using a genuine mikuni kit and following the carb rebuild post at the beginning of the forum. This should be done before running the ski again. If the...

I had that problem once. In the shop manual, under DESS in the electrical section it says that the MPEM cannot communicate with the CDI module. There are a few things that could cause that. A bad CDI, the 5A fuse on the holder relay (that powers the CDI) is blown, the holder relay is not...

I rebuilt my oem starter in 2017. I bought a rebuild kit from ebay that I think was from China. I think I only used the new brushes and a couple of the o-rings/washers that seal the starter. I think I cleaned up the original brush plate and used it. The brushes had worn down and the commutator...

Check the wiring and connectors are clean and making good contact between the sensor and speedometer. I have never tried but if your gauges come on for 30 seconds when you press the start key without a key or just when you put the key on, then you may be able to spin the sensor by hand or with...

Also, make sure you are using a good quality compression gauge.
