I have a GP760 here.
Just did the top end on the motor, only things removed were the top end and carbs , and the exhaust, bottom end stayed inside the boat..

Completed it all, reassembled, hooked up battery, fired it up, cranked a few times, then fired right up, then once it stalls out, you go to press the start button again, and NOTHING, no clicks, no sounds, no nothing. Disconnect the battery, reconnect the battery again, and there you go , turns right over again, then fires up again with no problems. This is a reoccurring issue, and happens over and over again.. Pretty crazy. Because when its cranking, it cranks quickly, with no problems what so ever.

I don't think its the ground, because I used a set of jumper cables to figure out if it was the ground, so i ran the jumper cables from the battery(Now sitting on the ground outside the ski) and put the positive jumper to the pos cable where the batt. should be connected, and then took the neg and grounded directly to the head bolt to see if maybe the ground cable was bad, well, same issue..

Seems like a relay is staying engaged and could have a power/ground issue? or...

What do you all think? Pretty odd issue.

Ground for the s/s switch could be bad. Or the ground for the relay.
Is this a customer's boat?

BOB should be ready like... with in a day or two, just waiting on some small stuff to come in, DASA manifold came in already, What an amazing piece, new trim system is here and installed, just waiting on adjuster screws for carbs, and then ready to ride again! can't wait!

I'm sorry, it's not really a ground on the start switch. In any even, check the connections for that switch inside the ebox.
Probably an issue with the relay.

OK.
Its just an odd issue, that it cranks strong,fires right up, but the second it stops running, it will not crank at all, and its a repeating issue, that once you disconnect the negative cable, and reconnect, it cranks and fires right up again. and repeat... infinite times it will do this.
