So to start, a few weeks ago i was out on the water sending her pretty hard for around a hour when the jetski randomly died. no power no clicks, and i had to get it towed back. After some diagnosis i found the 7.5 amp to be burnt in the rear electrical box. no biggie, popped w new one in and it ran like new again.
Now this week something much worse has happened with this. The same thing happened as above, but now i am not able to put a 7.5 amp in at all. they just blow right away. Checked for water in that electrical box as well as the vts box. i have a aftermarket vts module that doesn’t work either but i have ordered a new vts motor to ensure it’s the module.
Second, if i keep the vts electrical plug unplugged to the rear electrical box, the fuse does not blow but the jetski does not turn on. i am a little confused why a 7.5 amp for vts would cause the engine to not start. i can confirm it is this as the first time a fuse just made it work again, but not this time.
I ordered a rectifier and vts motor which will be coming in tomorrow. anything else i should look at?
I also forgot to mention that instead of just dieing like the first time when i was able to put a new fuse in, but before this happened, it was riding VERY ROUGH. Could not accelerate over idle or it would stall. I was doing some quick sharp turns with throttle down right before this happened. I was a little worried about hydrolockijg but i can’t turn on the engine with the plugs out without having the starter turn :/.
No water was in the hull as well. So what’s the next thing to check? Stator? Any workaround for vts fuse to allow it to turn on?
