Hi everyone. I have done tons of research and tackled all kinds of issues from info on this site. I have done all my preventive maintenance and then some from info from here but have finally run up against something I need some help on.
Here's the problem. 93 SPX has been running fine for years, no issues. Took out to lake, ran fine for 4 separate trips. Each trip stop ski with kill button. On 5th trip, ski ran normally came in to shore, tried to shut down with kill switch on handle bar, nothing happen, Pulled lanyard, nothing happened. Jump off ski, took off seat and pulled a plug wire (got good shock as I was standing in 3 feet of water, did not think to just pull choke. What ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger but pulling choke much better option although family got a good laugh) Restarted ski, same issue, had to use choke to stop. Removed lanyard, engine would not turn over so lanyard switch works. Place lanyard on and pushed kill switch and tried to start engine, would not turn over so kill switch works.
So where do I look now. Am I having a lean fuel condition that just started on that trip? Is it the MPEM? Replaced MPEM early this year for a Rev limiter issue, no spark, fixed problem and have had no issues till now. Have used the ski for at least 30 trips this year. I have another 93 ski that I could swap MPEM, but will wait to see what you guys have to say before doing. Thanks
