Seadoo gsx 1997 limited edition ticking noise pls help

[seadoo_1997]

Hey everyone I have a gsx 97 ltd the last time I took it out when I first started it on the water it ticked for about the first 3 attempts then it was fine. I packed it up for about 2 weeks and today I went to go out but it wouldn't turn over just kept making that clicking noise its coming from the black box where the spark cables go into. Eventually it turned over when I took the spark plugs out for about 5 minutes and water was gushing out of the spark plug holes I was told its because I turned on the water to flush the ski before I turned the ski on but I figure if I could get it to atleast crank again it would push all the water out of the engine but it won't at all just keeps ticking and if I'm really lucky it will turn over for a few minutes what could It be starter motor jammed electric problem ?

Normally, with clicking... I'd say your battery is dead. BUT... If there is water in the engine... and it's been sitting for 2 weeks... the internals of your engine are rusted solid.

Try to turn the engine over by hand, and make sure the battery is fully charged. BUT, whatever you do... DO NOT jump start the ski. That will burn out the MPEM.
