Speedster Won't Start-- What's up?

[ajohnson1969]

:facepalm::facepalm:Greetings! I have a 2008 Seadoo Speedster. Boat was working fine in the fall. When to get ready for spring. Left engine starts and runs fine. Right engine will not start. No ticking sound, no real sounds...no starting. One thing I notice is there is no beeping or sounds when I put in the key in like in the past. I replaced the solenoid hoping this might be it. No luck. Any ideas out there?

What happens if you jump the solenoid?

Yep, jump the solenoid using a pair of pliers and confirm the engine will crank. If yes, then look for a wire laying near the battery that should be connected but was overlooked.

Will give it a try. Thanks

OK jumped the solenoids and both engines turn over fine. I also switched the engine start button connections from left to right just to make sure the start button for the right engine was working ok. Left engine started fine with no luck on right engine so I know its not the start button. I loooked all over and all wires seem fine. Cleaned connections . What do you guys think I should try now?

Unplug the connector at the Solenoid using a test light or meter check for a ground on the black wire and check for 12v on the yellow wire when you press the start button.

If you don't have 12v start checking for blown fuses. It will most likely be a blown 5 amp fuse causing the issue.

Yep,,, Test the feed to the solenoid. This is the next step. No matter the answer this will tell us a lot.

I have been trying to find all the fuses on this darn boat. I found some under the drivers console (under the cooler) and fuses located next to each engines starter solenoid (all are ok). I have seen posts about people have to "stand on their heads to check the fuses by the battery." Am I missing a bank of fuses somewhere? Sorry for asking so many question. This is my first jet boat/ski. Thanks guys!

OK--For those that are experiencng the same problems (no beeping when landyard installed, engine not starting) I located 4 in-line fuses on the Speedster 200 located along the positive power cable after battery on/off switch. Two of these four fuses were blown. After replacing I got the beep-beep back and the right engine fired right up!

Awesome. :thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing the solution. Too many times people fix the issue, but never update the thread.
