OK so im ready to throw this friggin ski in the water and let it sink.
Ski has trouble starting.
Charged battery!
Replaced starter solenoid!
New Ground Cable to starter.
New Fuse!
Pulled out the motor to take starter off. Found out it was just easier to remove exhaust manifold and leave the motor in the ski.
Tested starter like three times and all three times it spun like a bat out of a cave.
Throw it on the ski and has trouble turning it over.
Removed the plugs and tried to turn the engine over by hand to see if its not locked or anything and was very hard to turn but could turn bout half a revolution.
Hit the start button and again about half a revolution and then stops.
Ground cable heats up like hell.
Could it be the starter on its way out and doesnt have enough torque when load is applied on it.
Or could it be something in the motor that is making it hard to turn over?
Last time i rode it, flushed it and everything ran fine and about 2 weeks ago tried to go out and found myself in this point.
Only riden the ski about five times since i bought it used about 3 months ago. Still crazy to go out and learn more tricks on it.
Anybody have any idea?
Thanks!
Dave
