I have an 89 kawasaki 550 jet ski. I just bought it and took it on the lake and it ran great. When I got home I hooked the hose to it and ran water through it before I started it. I wanted to adjust the carb. I then took off the spark plugs and turned it over to get some of the water out. The ski then just started to make a click sound every time I tried to start it. I replaced the battery and that was not the problem. I checked all the wiring and it seems to be fine. I think it might be the starter, solenoid, or the relay, but I have no idea. Sometimes I would stomp on it while trying to start it and it would try to kick over then just click again. I could really use some advice.
wont start or turn over 89 550
