88 GTS ignition problem??

[selleck2]

Hi, working on 88 gts for a friend. Info-unit sat quite some time,when I ck,d
it over unit would not crank. Removed and replaced starter relay in electrical
box. (looks like it has been replaced before). Eng has good compression and ignition--problem is ignition only hot in crank mode. If I hold starter button
engine will run -as soon as you let off button ignition dies. I,m sure I have a
kill circuit-or something that is not wired correctly. Carb has been removed and cleaned,etc. How should system work-possibly need a wiring diagram to ck.
Thanks for any help-I,m so close but so far away from fixed!

The circuits are simple on that year seadoo. The manual would make it much easier to diagnose the problem. If you want you could join as a "premium member". As a premium member you can down load a authentic seadoo manual from the seadoo manual library. In the library is a variety of manuals for almost all years and models. You can view as many as you like on line as a PDF file, or download it and print it for your personal and privet use. There are operator manuals and repair manuals for you to do your own repairs on your seadoo. The repair manuals have everything from troubleshooting, repair procedures to winterizing. It contains wire diagrams torque specs and pictures for disassemble and assemble instructions. In the spec sheets it tells everything needed to maintain oil changes, spark plug gaps, carburetor rebuilds and impeller wear ring tolerances.
