But water shouldn't get past the rubber diaphragm? I had mass build up of junk consolidated around the needle and seat area. It was difficult to get the needles out and once they were out they were destroyed. One I had to drill on until it popped loose... Needles had so much build up and the...

Wow not only are the needles stuck, there's a to. Of Sand and this clear waxy gel like poop all over in here! Corrosion too. How the f??? Does that get in the jet side...

Hmmmm.. Good to know! Thanks man yea they are very new. I change them when I jetted for a B pipe like only four months ago

Hmm... Needles stuck huh? could be I guess. Idk what would make them stick. Maybe the octane booster I use leave sticky residue when it dries. I don't think just pre mix does that? I use ethanol free. I will check those thanks. Didn't bother opening the jet side of the carbs. Because no way way...

And the pulse line works. I discovered that the clear plastic flap behind the fuel pump cap was stuck as I blew through the fitting on the cap. It did it pass air at first but then made a loud crack and snap a loose in the fuel pump flap functions. I was certain this was it and stoked.NOPE...

So the electrical issue was just the cheesy factory set up that clips to the spark plugs. I snipped the wires back an inch and put a crimp on new tips. now it fires and runs but only off of the fuel that I prime that it runs out of fuel and shuts off. Tank has pressure. Gas coming out of the...

I really doubt there is too much fuel. It was a completely dry motor after rebuilding minus a little bit of oil I smeared on the Pistons and sleeves. And I did not Prime it very many times

I'll mess with it more after work today and try these things. Thanks guys

Make sense. I had that thought last night thinking maybe there is corrosion inside the start switch. But then I figured if it was sensing that the button was closed not open, it wouldn't even turn over

Try starting while that plug is disconnected? Not sure if that's the plug for the switch or for the stator...

My ski just hates me ha

But idk. After it started for 2 seconds last night then shut off, I put another new pair of plugs in and still couldn't even get a sputter... Gave it a couple squirts of gas with the primer even tried a gas can hose cap full down the plug holes. Nothing

Sort of like when you get salt water in your motor and you have to keep dipping your plugs and gas and burning them and putting them in until it fires

And a handful of other times that it nearly started but not quite. And it's just 100% dead to the world for a long time after one of these incidents

I wouldn't say it does that? I have only gotten it to start once for two seconds

Brand-new OEM crank seals, all new gaskets. Thing is sealed up nice. I think something electrical is going out just don't know what. Possibly even just a crusty connection from that salt water even though I did rinse the hell out of the whole ski really well 2 hours after the ocean

Ha ha that's ridiculous well nothing like that going on here. I actually did this motor twice because the first time it did air leak. I went to light on the case sealant and when I tried to start it, exhaust was coming out of the motor. This time, exhaust only comes out of the spark plug holes...

An air leak can be so bad that a ski won't even start?

I put a spark plug in both coil wires and rest of the plug against the cases where one of the bolts are. The usual test. Both sparked just fine. I know I have fuel because I have a manual pump primer and I watch it squirt fuel into the carbs. I had to rebuild the motor because I went to the...

Maybe spark is too weak? Sure it sparks but maybe the wires need trimmed back... Idk
