Stop switch won't turn off idling ski-confirming diagnosis

[McDog]

Sold my ski. Get a call later saying ski won't shut off. He started it out of water to blow out exhaust but then stop button wouldn't work. He pulled one plug wire but was getting shocked so he didn't get the other. He called me and I said back trailer down to water. That worked. He said it was just idling but wouldnt turn off. Stopped fine for me on trailer yesterday.

I said it has to be start stop switch and said I would have jetmaniac send him one. Anyone think its something else?

Dont you love when this type of stuff happens after selling a ski? Have him check the tabs in the start/stop connection leading to the ebox. Ive ran into almost 1/2 a dozen skis this year that either wont start or wont turn off due to those tabs being bent or crooked on the plug.

Easy way to confirm is to disconnect Blk / wht wire at e box, and put a meter on it?
But I agree, bet thats it

Thanks guys.

It's always three things.

1st. Test ride. Ski cuts off when doing slow left turns but otherwise perfect. Seems weird. Figure out it's almost out of gas and pickups are on right. Put more gas in and problem solved.

2nd. Bilge pump not working after next test ride over. Loose connection due to pushed in pin on weatherpak connection. Fix it and fine. Do paperwork and exchange money and leave.

3rd. Phone rings and......

my fake rickter with total loss sometimes doesn't stop when the lanyard is pulled or red button pushed. I put my hand over the exhaust outlet and choke the motor out. I had a superjet once that had a riva CDI. bad connection in the box and problem solved

Likely the stop circuit in S/S switch has opened. Check continuity by ohming out the black and white wires on S/S switch side with lanyard in and pressing the red button. I recently had the same issue and ended up being my switch. You can get replacement OEM harness for cheap and only takes 5mins tops to bolt it into the existing housing

What exactly should reading be? No resistance or infinity with stop button/lanyard? I did rewire the ebox immediately before I sold it to him to switch out from total loss to 62t ignition so I guess something disconnected isn't impossible but it worked immediately afterwards so I doubt it. Buyer is coming by this weekend and we are figuring it out together. I have several known good sss's.

I don't recall the resistance per say. It's probably spec'd out in the manual. When i checked mine I was just looking for it to open and close. If it doesn't do anything you found your problem.

Thanks guys. I should have thought of that. It helps to wrap my mind around it ahead of time.

That is what the manual says too. There is no resistance values listed. It just says
: Check
- Continuity
Out of specification ---> replace

lol

Ebox side:
-Check continuity to ground on the black wire coming out of ebox first.
-Then start motor and jump the white wire on ebox harness to ground/black wire to make sure motor dies.

Start/stop side:
-Check for continuity between white and black while stop button is pressed or lanyard is pulled.

It either makes the meter chirp or it does not chirp.

Lol that's science right there Not every meter has the chirp function, haha.

Didnt know this was an option.

damn, I forgot yours is from 1965!!!!!!!! LOL True!!!!!!!!!! I use to install 2 way radios. Always had to add the coax plug to the cables and solder them. Always used a meter with the "Beep" to test to make sure did not melt the insulation while soldering!!!!!!! Had to really heat the ends up on the thicker coax.....
