Hey guys I just purchased a 97 round nose 701 61x with a b pipe and single carb last Friday. Very green to the stand up world. I was out riding last night not doing anything crazy riding in a straight line and the ski just shut off. Would turn over easily in the water but would not fire. Long story short. There was water in engine when I got it home which I tried to get as much out as a I could. Tried premix down plug holes to get it to fire with no luck. Checked spark and had no spark. Had a brand new coil so I swapped that with no luck. I tried the start/stop off my other ski which is brand new never been in water yet with no luck for bringing spark back. Since I couldn’t get it running last night I just put a bunch of oil down the carb and filled it and down the plug holes to pickle it until I can get back to it after work today. Any ideas on where I’m loosing spark?

Ohm out your stator and CDI. See if those are both still good.

what happens in between these ?

Shut off and I swam it to shore. About a 10 min swim. Then loaded on my beach dolly which took about 40 mins from the waves crashing into me and the sand tires on the dolly float so I struggled. It has no bilge currently just a scupper in the pump tunnel.
My buddy gave me a stator and full ebox to try. Are 62t cdi different then the 61x or should I be ok?

You have to run a 62T flywheel also.

cdi is interchangleable, any cdi will work. Need to run proper stator with flywheel tho. Problem is either cdi or stator most likely. Start/stop switch could do that to i think.

Yep you always starts elect diagnostic , no spark condition testing by unplugging the black and white wires of the stop switch, then if it doesn't have spark still continue with ohm and AC voltage testing, I test at the orange wire coming out of CDI box going to coil next to see if the CDI is producing anything, if not then I check the source coil on the stator to see if ity's putting out about 35 VAC, if it has 35 VAC then check the trigger coil to see if it's producing a pulse, if you have 35VAC and a pulse and nothing coming out of the orange wire the CDI is bad, if you have voltage on the orange wire and the stop switch is out of the circuit but you have no fire the coil is bad.
Hi mark zach here lol. I put in a ebox from parker the only difference in wiring was the white/red tracer wires. It wanted to be female to female so I just got a male to male jumper and we got it going and ran a tank through it. Did good!!!!
