Hello all.
I am new to Seadoo boats, but have owned quite a few skis. We bought a 1998 Sportster 1800 that wasn’t running. I drained the fuel, replaced the fuel lines, and rebuilt the carbs. I replaced both starters (OEM), solenoids, battery, and plugs and the compression is good on both engines. The Boat started right up on the hose and we went to the lake. Adjusted the idle and carbs and all seemed good. About 45 minutes out, both engines died. When I went to restart, there were no beeps when I put the key in, and it would crank hard, but not start. I got towed back and started to trace all the electrical. It has beeped twice a few times, but still just cranked, and did not start. Most of the time, it is not beeping, and if it starts it dies right away. Compression is still good, plugs look good (a little wet), power and fuses are good. What should I check next? Thanks in advance!
