[Mrmustang197886]

I can not get my 1997 SeaDoo GTX to start, it has fuel, gets spark, but will not fire up, he suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated

If you pour some premix into the cylinders does it momentarily start up?

Try that see what happens.

I will give that a shot and see what it does

If it has spark, fuel, and compression, it will start. Something is missing.

Turns out it was a crank seal cause I had to much compression in one of the cylinders it was reading 228psi

Crank seal would not give you to much compression

Leaking crank seal ..rotary valve…oil would up compression

Himmm I guess but I would think 228 would be extremely excessive. Maybe a little oil cheap compression gauge saids a lot more compression than it has

Only way you could have 228 psi is if you are trying to compress a liquid fuel/oil/water.
