So today I was riding my hurricane when it all of a sudden died on me and would turn over but would not start, we pulled it up on the beach and tried starting it and when I would hit the start button it would fire once then keep turning over, then it just keeps turning over and I pulled the plugs out and put one in the boot and held it against a head bolt and what do you know, no spark, so I have a 760 with 61 x flywheel and electronics, msd enhancer, and ocd coil, the rest it stock, I'm probably gonna have to remove the ebox I know but what should I look for, thanks

Replace enhancer with a stock cdi. Symptoms are specifically indicative of a bad mad enhancer.

Damn this msd is only like a month old

Used, or brand new? It could also be a bad start/stop swt, how old is the start stop swt? You can get a new wire harness for a yami swt for half the price of a new whole swt and it replaces all the internals. Jetmaniac.

The msd was bought new, probably has only 3 hours on it, and the start stop has new internals from jm, but the housing on my ski did not close all the way so water gets in there for sure

Didn't close all the way bc you didn't remove the Lil plastic nipple on your aftermarket bars?

Get a razor knife out and remove that plastic obstruction so it closes all the way. I can't think of another reason for it not to close.

Nah, man. I can't fix it from here. You need to open that ebox and put in a stock cdi. Bet she fires right up, or you find something else going on in the ebox

Well it fired right up today and smoked like a mofo because it was flooded but it did run, and recently it sounds like it turning over weird

Did you swap the cdi. The first sign my enhancer was failing is the ski backfired. A few rides later it wouldnt start. It was detonating. It woukd fire and stop thd piston. I dont understand how but everything seemed to indicate the timing advanced. I didnt have any issues with my flywheer or stator, chaned the cdi, ski has ran great 50 hours now. Yours sounds just barely better than mine did. Try swapping that cdi before you break something.

So swap the cdi and you think it will get rid of the noise when turning over, that noise that sounds like it speeds up and slows down

Unplugged the stop part of the start stop switch and took it out to ride, ran for about 5 minutes then did the same thing, shut off and wouldn't run all day, could this be a stator issue?

Honestly don't understand why you are here. I cannot count how many said "change your cdi out". We have been at this for years. So let me say it. Swap your CDI

But if he did that and it would work...he would have to swallow his pride and admit that the more experienced people were right. Young kids arent good at that.
