Hey everyone, I recently bought a VXR PRO from a guy that was going to use the engine in his stand up stunt ski. The ski would start everytime just with a quick push of the green button. So I take it to the lake to ride it for the first time and of course it won't fire up. It turns with the starter that's it! I took the plugs out replaced with new ones and nothing. I then found a black wire off the head that goes to the brain. It was cut in half. I repaired it. What is this wire for? I tried to turn over with the plugs out placed on the heads horizontally. For a few rotations of the engine I could see weak spark out of one plug then it stopped. Next I unplugged the black and white kill switch wires. No spark Currently I just took the 100 screws out of the brain in order to split the case to see inside. I haven't tested anything yet....I just really don't know what direction to go in so I'm reaching out to all you fine members for your expertise and suggestions. What would also be a big help is a service manual I don't even know the gap specifications!? Its got cold in Atl. Georgia but if I could get this Badboy running I'll throw my wetsuit on and ride out. When I was younger I wanted one of these machines so bad but couldn't make it happen. So when I finally got this beast at 43 I wanted to make it look new. The gel coat was real thin in some places you could see and feel the fiber. I gel coated the top deck and put new stickers on. I've got alot of time into this machine. My wife doesn't understand...Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

From the sounds of things the BLK wire from the head as Rods stated is your overtemp sensor.

I have a 93 & 94 vxr pro. Nice little play on ski.

PM me an email address and I can send you a copy of the factory manual. May take a day or two. Hunting season starting up Friday.
Clymer also makes a nice manual for them but there lumped in with several like skis from Yamaha. But still carries lots of good info

Hi Dave!

I'm also the proud new owner of a 93 vxr pro. Could you send me the manual too? Picked up this and a 90 WR3 and I'm trying to get them back on the water. I have so many questions but that manual would be a great start!
