I have a strange electrical issue and curious if anyone else has experienced the same thing.
Ski is running great all day and randomly does not fire back up out on the water so I get towed in. I’m getting spark to both plug wires. I can put 1 plug in 1 hole and the ski will run on that 1 cylinder. I can remove that plug and put the other plug in the other cylinder and it will run on that cylinder, however, when both plugs are in it will not even attempt to even sputter like it wanted to fire over. Tried this over and over It doesn’t matter if the plugs are super loose with only a couple thread in or spun all the way down tight. If both plugs are threaded into the domes I won’t get any kick over what so ever but 1 plug in it will run all day long.
My first though was not getting enough crank speed to fire the CDI so I borrowed 2 battery’s from other’s skis at the lake last night just to see if it made any difference. Crank speed was defiantly faster (sounded back up to full cranking RPM by ear) with the other battery’s, however, same symptoms with all 3 battery’s. Would run in each hole individually but not with both plugs in.
Picking some local riders brains I’m going to try and replace the coil tonight and see if that makes any difference. Would love to get this solved before headed out to the GA Freeirde in a few days so trying to come up with some alternative plans in case the coil is not the issue.
I’m not big on electronics but this is the damndest thing I have ever seen
