Starter OK Seadoo does No Start

[AmnonMikeCohen]

I had both my 92 & 94 Seadoos run last year, and kept both NEW batteries on solar chargers since, and busted charge as I am getting ready for our short season; so I was surprised when my better Seadoo did not start/turn when I tried, as the other one did - so I had opened the practically new electrical box, seen that both fuses are OK and all electrical connections are OK, then checked that the starter works = YES the engine turns, battery OK, yet with RUN & Start connected and simply trying to START 'silence' and when I try another battery, not better.

All connections and contacts look good and it was not a cold-winter - and I am lost for help, as we have no local dealers...

Jumper the lugs on the starter relay Solenoid. If it turns over/cranks, that is bad, replace it! Internally corroded.

Thanks, I shall look intoit, but the solenoid looks so new - as the (old) Seadoo machine has less the 100 hours on it...
