Well i get the standard two beeps but once i start to the cranking process it gives me a clicking noise, it is coming from the solenoid area.... but before i buy one i want to know if it is the solenoid.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT OR KNOW HOW TO SOLVE MY PROBELM


thanks Matt

check your battery ,connections , if they check out fine possible starter problem...

More than likely, the crank shaft is seized, if the engine is not turning over when you bump starter. To check the crank, remove both of the spark plugs from the top of the motor, then reach down towards the back of the motor where there is a gray cover over the output shaft to the pump assembly. There are two plastic wing nuts holding that cover on. Take them off and set the cover off to the side. With your hands, grab ahold of the PTO (the large cylindrical weight under the cover) and try to turn the motor counter-clockwise. If the PTO, which is connected to the crankshaft will not turn over, than your crank bearings are shot and the crankshaft will have to be replaced. Try that simple things first before you try to start tearing into the starter, which is way up under the ski and a lot harder to get to. Plus, that is what it sounds like to me (I have heard enough "clicking" noises from starters to know thats what it is.) Good luck buddy.

I agree with the Bad connections theory, of making it start.

If that does not fix it, then check to see that the bat has a good charge.

You can use jumper cables, so long as you are well ventilated, and the HOST engine is not running.

This is a FAST and easy way to check battery.

The clicking noise is from the battery not making a good connection to the starter. The solenoid is clicking as it isn't getting enough power. Check the ground connection by the engine near the starter and the connections on the battery itself. The battery should be fully charged to be able to activate the starter. If you charge the battery remove it from the hull or at least disconnect it from the wiring in the seadoo and charge it in a well ventilated area. If you leave the wiring attached to the battery while you are charging it, could surge the electrical components and cause more electrical problems.
