Engine Starting Problem!

[ajohnson1969]

Greetings Everyone! I am new to the SeaDoo thing and new to this site! Thanks in advance for your help and advice!!

I just purchased a 2004 Seadoo 200. First and only time out I noticed I was having probelms starting the port side engine (other engine starts fine). When I would push the ignition button it would just click and not turn-over or start. After monkeying with it for a while it finally started and ran fine. Did this several times during the trip and while flushing it. My first thought was a ground wire/power supply issue. I checked and cleaned what ground and battery power connections I could reach. Now the port engine sluggishly turns-over but will not start. Right engine starts and runs fine. Any ideas? Thanks again for any advise you might have!!!

sounds like you have a loose connection somewhere....make sure everything is nice and tight from the starter all the way to the battery connections. If you don't mind, could you PM me what you bought it for?? I have the exact same boat so if you ever have any questions feel free to ask.

Got it working guys! Followed thor7000 advice and started at the starter and went back from there. Cleaned every connection all the way back to the battery. Nothing seemed really bad, but I guess it was just enough to disrupt current. Thanks thor7000.
