i bought a 1992 kawasaki 750SS JET SKI, how can i check the engine if i am not in the water?
also what could be the problem for it not starting? we took it to the lake last week, put it in the water and it was dead. we checked the battery and it said it was charged, what other problem could it be? could it be the ignition coil or the kill switch---if so, how do i go about fixing it?
There should be a brass fitting on the cylinder head with a rubber plug over it. You can fit a water hose to this with an adapter from the hardware store. Start the motor then turn on the water.
Have your batter load tested. (Most shops do this for free.) These batteries only last a year due to all the pounding they take and that they are sitting half the year. It may show full voltage but not have any amperage left in it.
Do you have your safety lanyard plugged into the kill switch? If not, it will not start. Otherwise check the fuse and wiring. Vibration is a problem on all watercraft and plugs can come loose or wires can rub through. If you don't have the ground wire to the harness and the ground wire to the motor hooked up, it will not start. Best to pick up a shop/owners manual. It will make life easier.

where and how does the ignition coil get its signal from on a kawasaki 750 jst ski?
i have a 93 kawasaki 750xiss waverunner.it will crank over but i have no spark at plugs.how can i check to see if everything is working ok?i took the front end apart by the stator and cleaned up the oil and sensor up front.what is the 30amp fuse in the box inside the red wires for?thanks matt
Check the simple stuff first like new plugs and missing or broken ground wires. The battery, electrical case and engine all have to be grounded to work. Also check your wiring on the bars for a broken kill switch wire. Check for burned or bare wires in the engine compartment. The fuse you see should be for the regulator. Change it if it's bad.
Your ignition system uses a generator with a trigger coil. Voltage and the triggering signal go to the igniter then to the secondary coils and to the plugs. Any of those items could be bad, or wiring or switches.
When was the last time it worked and what happened when it quit working? Did it get flooded? Was it just worked on? Did it overheat?
Testing the system is similar to any dirt bike or Jet Ski but I don't have a manual for yours. You can test the generating and trigger coil with an ohm and volt meter. The igniter is a whole other matter. Sometimes it's cheaper to take to a dealer as there are no returns on electrical parts. Flatrate is .9 hours to test and repair the ignition system.

sorry it's hard to see, but there is a small hole there in front of the needle jet (it is a hole in the carb body, not the brass hole the needle slides through.)
1.does that hole lead to the pilot jet? and if so,
2.what would the effect be of making it (the hole I am pointing at, not the pilot jet) smaller, and
3. what would the effect be of making it bigger?
I don't need a detailed explanation of the workings of the entire carburetor and it's jets, just this hole. thanks
Most holes in that area eventually end up as a vacuum port on the outside of the carburetor. If the ports are being used and you make it larger then it will create a larger vacuum. Those ports were commonly used on things like the vacuum advance on older distributors. There would be no benefit to the performance of the carburetor to modify it.

Ok So I would like to get a Brand New ski doo but I have bad credit, Im not currently working but I would like to know how I can get a brand new ski doo in a different way.
Will a sealed, maintenance free battery last longer that the lead acid OEM on my '07 Sea-doo GTI?
My OEM battery, YB30CLB, has gotten a little over 3 years service with 68 hours on the ski. I'm thinking about going to a sealed battery due to the mess that the lead acid creates around the battery tray. I'm pretty happy with the 3 years I got out of the original. I maintained it and kept it charged when not in use. Can I expect the same, or better, from a Deka ETX30L?
The DEKA is also a lead acid battery. The difference is in it's construction. The acid is contained in absorbent glass mats (sponges) rather than being free to slosh around inside the cells. If your mess is simply the corrosion (sulfating) caused by battery acid the DEKA might reduce it but will not eliminate it.
AGM batteries last longer than conventional batteries when they are used infrequently so the AGM will probably last longer and cause less corrosion. Are they worth the extra money? Your choice.
