I guess the first time I posted this in the wrong place. Any way I've got a 05 12F. Last fall the engine compartment got flooded with salt water. I towed the ski in took it home and flushed it out thoroughly, used it a few more times in fresh water, ran fine put it up for the winter. A few days ago pulled it out of the garage when I tried to start it the starter spins and doesn't engage. I've looked at the service manual and I don't see any kind of a bendix drive. Has any one had this problem or pulled a starter.
Thanks,
Carl

With the engine compartment getting flooded with salt water, buy this stuff called "Salt Away" it comes with this thing you hook up to your garden hose that has a thing on the bottom you put the salt away solution in and spray it on your jet ski. You can also flush your jet ski out with it too. When I used to ride in the ocean, that is what I flushed my ski out with all of the time and would spray the engine compartment down with. What it does is put a protective coating over everything that prohibits the parts from rusting and corroding. As far as your started goes, you may just need to replace it?

Also, did any water get into your motor?

Yes it did, But I went strait home vacumed the cyclinders out, flushed them with WD40 then installed fresh plugs and ran the ski for an hour in a fresh water river near the house. I also had the ski out a few more times after that with no problems. Nothing else in the engine compartment is showing any signsof corosion.
