96 Xp starting problems

[popasodatastie]

ok heres what happened i was out in the garage getting my ski ready to go in the water yesterday. I went to fire it up and no start the starter spun but nothing. I pulled the plugs and no spark. I check the coil and there was no power going to it. I checked the wires for a break no breaks. I then pulled the brain out of the ski and opened it up and there wasn't anything wrong inside no water. so i put it back in the ski and hooked all the wiring clips and when to try it again and then it started right off. I normally get that when i go to start it up for the first time of the day. But thats the only time i get it going and it doesn't do it anymore that day. Dose anyone have any issues with their seadoo doing this?

Gremlins in the ski!

fROM the history you wrote, I suspect one of two things. Battery not more
than a 12.4v charge, or mpem gets it ground from stator, to operate. Reopen
box and see if you can titen ground lug.
You could wait til next time, then just unplug the stator connector above the
housing and check with your meter which way is not grounding. Just my $0.02.

Spark Plugs

i checked the grounding and that was not it i tested the stator and it was puting out good current and i just couldn't figure it out so i pulled the plugs again and regapped them and that was it fired right off! Thanks for the advise bill!

Glad you've fired her up. Listen to her, snip a tad off the plug wire that goes
into the plug boot as it could be an end burn if you should hear the slyhtest miss.
