I have added another battery to my pwc which helped with starting out of the water. I can get it to start once in the water and it runs great. When I kill the engine it will not restart. I can then pull it out of the water and start it again. Any suggestions?

your problem is in the fuel system. have a technition o/h carbs and flush out your tank. that should fix your problem. any problem with the ignition system would cause your machine to go into limp-mode.

no when it does not start it does not have spark

no when it does not start it does not have spark

does you pwc have a reserve position on the fuel valve?

 

[rdchestney]

how do you know that it dosent have spark in the water??? If you can pull it back out and it will start out of water thenyou have spark?? Check your compression on all cylinders and report those numbers back

so when in the water it has no spark?
is it turning over weak in the water?
out of the water starts right up? probably becuase there is no load on the engine
try starting in the water bypassing start stop switch, if it starts you will have to reconnect stop switch to shut it off though.
