97 speedster no beeps

[filthyoar]

I know this kinda sounds like dooboysgirl's post but I had a bit of difference. My seadoo starts and runs just fine. Everything seems to be smooth but I get absolutely none of the beeps that should go along with the start up process. Is there a fuse that could've blown to prevent any beeping? Also is there a way that the previous owner may have disconnected it in order to avoid having annoying beeps or to hide problems from me when selling it? Where should I go about looking to find the reason for no beeps first?

Quickly learning I should not ahve bought a used jetboat. Worse comes to worse I may just end up getting new engines from sbtontheweb and just driving it like it stolen.


Thanks for any help people can give me.

Here is a good place to start. I have bought used jet boats with out too many problems. They are lots of fun and will last for a long time. I would start by cleaning the Post on the safety lanyard. It is beeping and saying it isn't connecting to the Mpem, (Multi Purpose Electronic Module) It needs to beep 2 times to let you know it is ready to start. Clean the post and cap with soapy water. Don't use any grease of lubricant on it as it needs a clean connection to make contact. Connect the lanyard to see if it is making a connection. 2 beeps and it's ready to fire up. Some times the beeper is bad. Feel it for a vibration as it just might not be beeping. If that is the case it can be replaced from Radio Shack for less than $15.00.
Let us know how you make out.

Tried cleaning the post off. I am getting absolutely no beeps at all. It starts with no trouble and shifts with no trouble. Just no beeps.
