1997 seadoo gtx cutting out randomly

[haydenstanley123]

I bought a 1997 seadoo gtx that runs good but it will suddenly figure out whenever like idling, full speed, speeding up it’s weird to explain but it just shuts off and I have to take the key off and back on to get it started again and it will run. Any help with what to check I’ve looked at the battery to make sure it’s grounded.

Does the beeper work? does it beep when it shuts off?

No does not beep but the red light flashes once I believe

You need to replace the beeper so you will know what the MPEM is doing.

Okay I’ll look into it but the ski just turns off randomly it could be 5 minutes or 40 and it will sometimes do it multiple times or 1 time I’m just lost

I replaced the beeper and it doesn’t beep when the ski cuts off but when I try to crank it again it beeps and I have to take the key off and reinsert it

Sounds like a bad DESS post.

Is there any way to check that?
