Sea doo won't start after 1st run

[dobbinshabby]

Hello again everybody. So after fixing my 1992 sea doo SPI i took it to the lake. Before backing in the trailer i started it on land, all was well. So we put it in the water and i start it and take off and ride it for 4 or 5 minutes, come back and shut it off. Well when i went to start it again, simply put, it wouldn't. Throttle wide open, would not start. Throttle closed, would not start. Throttle half open, w/n/s. choke out, w/n/s, choke out throttle open, w/n/s. After trying all these things i would always hold the throttle wide open again because maybe i loaded up the motor. You see what i'm getting at here. After letting the ski sit for about 5 minutes i hopped back on it and it started.

I'm relatively new to 2-stroke motors but i think there is a technical aspect behind this since generally after letting the motor load up after a no wake zone you have to hold the throttle open to get it to fire but i tried EVERYTHING. And for a long time.

After it sat for a while and FINALLY started it ran fine and i could shut it off and start it up after that.

If you think this is a mechanical error please throw some knowledge my way

If you think this is me being a noob to 2 stroke motors don't be ashamed to call me an idiot and tell me how to prevent this so i can spread the knowledge to my younger family so they don't get stuck dead in the water.

Thanks

Could have just been a fluke. I like to keep a little starter fluid with me. It will help fire a flooded engine. BUT... with that said... use it sparingly since there is no oil in it.

Normally when I have a hard time getting an engine (2-stroke) to start... I pull the plugs, and crank it for a couple seconds with the throttle open. This will get some fresh air into the engine, and you can get a visual on the plugs to see if they are wet/fouled.
