Hi everyone, I have a 1994 XP that is really getting me frustrated.
The problem is when I am at the lake and first put cold machine in water the engine will always start. I can ride the machine all day without any problems, runs perfactly. The problem is when I shut it down and take a break for more than 2 minutes. Nine out of ten times it will not start. I keep trying to start it until I eventually kill the battery.
What I did discover is that if I lift the jet pump out of the water such as on a dock, it will always start, it will also always start on the trailer out of the water.
Things I have Checked are: Rotary valve clearance is within spec.
: electrical box all connections and grounds seem to be dry and corrosion free.
: battery is new and good.
: pulled flywheel stator and connections are good.
: stator and coil ohm out to within spec.
: spark is good
: tried many new spark plugs
: cleaned carbs 2 times pop off preassure is at 20 psi.
:pouring straight gas through spark plug holes does not help.
:engine compression is at 120 psi both sides.
I Know the engine compression is low, could this be causing the no start problem. I do not understand why the engine runs so well when it does start.
I am out of ideas any help to fix this no start in water problem would be appreciated.
