Sea doo SPX

[mr bigolsworth]

so i have taken my sea doo out charged the batt, changed the sparkplugs and NO spark... Any suggestions would be great. when i pull the spark plugs out it will crank for as long as i hold the start button down. but when i put them back in it will only crank once. i would like to get my ski up today. so any suggestions would be great. thanks

did you try to add fuel to the cylinder when you had the plug out.. It only needs to fire once. also when you have the plugs out, dont hold the start button for a long time the starter will heat up and you'll be dead in the water.

im not holding the start button down for long. i understand that and i have been trying with carb cleaner. but my spark plugs r not sparking.

first of carb cleaner will not ignite in your cylinder like starting fluid or gas just wont happen. 2nd if it cranks fine with the plugs out but when in only turns over once then you might not have enough power to turn the engine over, have your battery tested, just because it is charged does not mean it is fully charged and or any good. Then check for spark, you can pick up a spark tester for under $5 and it will work alot better then anything else, next make sure the plug wires are on the ground posts while cranking with the plugs out unless the spark tester is inline. Check those items first......
