Hi,
I have a 1999 GTX limited. It has the 951 engine. the ski ran great when I first purchased it 2 years ago. Last season, I started having electrical issues with it. the initail proplem occured one day on the lake. I was riding at a decent clip when the ski just shut off... the chk engine light came on. I removed the key and replaced it and it started normally. My seadoo tech said it was a fluke and to ignore it. However since then I have had the following problems. the ski still shutts off at random. When it does, all the gages go dead. the electrial seems to cut out completely. Then when you remove and reattach the lanyard, sometimes it will start, and sometimes it gives you a long beep and that is it. If you disconnect and reconnect the battery, the ski will usually start.
Lately the problem seems to be worse. I had to have the strarter drive replaced, and the ski sat for about 7 weeks at the shop. now the ski will start, and idle fine, but when you aply power, the ski dies and all the electrial goes with it. Sometives it will restart, but it is a hard restart.
The only thing I have been able to discover is that if I have a fresh battery, with a strong charge, the problem seems to disappear, but if the battery is the slightest bit low the problem occours. I am using a fresh sealed battery.
also I should note that after riding the battery is usually a little low.
I have tested the stater and it is putting out almost 13 volts sometimes a little more.
Please help my seadoo tech has had the boat for 9 weeks do to back logged work and I only have so much summer left.
Thanks
