Have 9l XP with 587 motor. Craft sat for couple of years. Won't start.
Have done all the usual diagnostics. Stop switch, lanyard switch, fuel, spark plugs and wires etc. Have also swapped out coil, cdi, rectifier, rev limiter. Still nothing.
Can find two obvious problems with motor.
Compression is very low 70 in rear/ 90 in front. Also appears to be a oil leak comming from someplace.
Under crank, motor seems to want to start--smoke comes from exhaust--but won't start.
On Seadoo net suggestion was made that one cause of non start could be a brass gear on the rotary valve. Would appreciate more information on this. Is it something that can be done with the motor in the craft, or will the motor have to be pulled.
With low compression, I know motor will require at least a top end rebuild--most probably a replacement motor. Since any replacement uses the existing rotary valve components, would like to know extent of starting problem before decision made to go for a replacement.
Any help appreciated
