We are still working on my buddy's '90SN. Prior to removing the motor, we disconnected it from the midshaft and rolled it over. It was pumping water out about 15' in the air. We then removed the motor and dumped it out. Apparently the exhaust still had water in it and at some point my buddy tilted the ski clockwise and dumped the exhaust water into the cylinders.
We cleaned everything up and re-installed the motor. With a fresh battery, the motor rolls over very slowly and seemed weak. It sounds like a dead battery, but it isn't.
My next step is to check the cables and starter. There was a good amount of corrosion on the starter housing. Could a bad cable or dying starter cause the symptoms we are having? I will post pics once I get them.
Any other suggestions on where to look?
