Re: 95 Sea Doo XP, Starts out of water, wont start in the water
After my buddy rebuilt the engine all is fine.. The engine has now run fine for 4 years.. I have had other issues but Bill and other people at SBT forum have helped immensely.
Another thing I learned is that my Sea Doo slowly drains the battery ever so slightly and the battery needs to register 12.05 circa to start in the water...
I use trickle charger and charge up the battery before I go out, and then the sea doo will start in the water. At one point I thought something was wrong with the motor again, but all it was is that the Battery if left in Sea Doo for 4-5 days will just be low enough that it will start fine on the Trailer but with resistance from the water would not start in water.
I check the battery and ensure it is 12.22 to 12.26 before I go out.l.. Also when I come back in from the water again to check the electically, normally it goes up just every so slightly from when I launched, so the electrical charging type alternator system is working great.
I am nost sure if this is true of all sea doos, but for me it is a great pre-check before I hit the water to esnure it will start up and purr like a kitten..
Cheers,
Nigel
