95 701 Ebox electrical issues

Location
PNW
Long story short, after figuring out I had a bad stator and replacing that and the flywheel , I am trying to put my Ebox back together. I had previously disconnected everything trying new cdi etc. to figure out what my problem is. Now when I am connecting my starter relay to the brown and red wires it is powering up and cranking without touching my switch. Would this mean I have an issue with start/stop switch or wires mixed up? This is my first superjet and still trying to figure everything out.

Sounds like you are hooking your stator wires to the solenoid. The brown/white wire from the stator harness connects to the CDI, the solid brown wire in the start/stop harness is the one you want to connect to the solenoid.

That’s the weird thing... stator br/w is hooked to cdi. My solenoid wire is connected to the start stop. It only powers up when I connect solenoid to the red start/stop wire. Connected to brown does nothing. My solenoid wire is also pink and not brown like the diagram.

Also solenoid says 6m6 on it. Wouldn’t that be for the 650? Don’t know if that would effect anything. It was running before, but I’ve only had the ski a month.

Solenoids are the same for 650 and 701. Post a pic of your ebox, maybe that will help with seeing the wiring. Solenoid wires should be black and brown and then the 2 larger power cables.

Got it on amazon, Boise boat works was the sender. I was trying different cdis It does the same thing with my old oem one too.

Could a bad cdi do weird stuff? I tried testing old one but was not getting any readings with my cheap multimeter. Haven’t tried the blue one. Half tempted to send the whole Ebox in to have someone look at it! Probably over my head lol!!

It's hard to tell from that angle but from what I can see, it looks correct. The red wire off the solenoid is confusing as that is not stock. An OEM solenoid has a brown wire so there is no confusion as to what hooks up where.

May I ask what prompted all of this swapping? Were you chasing other gremlins that may or may not explain what you have going on now?

FYI, the stator and starter are two completely different circuits. You could actually remove the entire Stator assembly, CDI and Flywheel, rectifier and coil and still crank the ski.

The starter circuit is also about as simple as it gets. 12 VDC + from the battery, through a fuse, through the start button and then to the solenoid. Ground the solenoid and the circuit is complete. If it's cranking, something is wired up wrong, the start button is stuck in or something is shorting out and bypassing the start button.

I was chasing what I believed was a no spark issue. Ski would randomly die out on the water. Also was feeling sluggish. Was only on my 3rd ride with new to me ski, when it died in the middle of the lake and would not restart. It would crank, but no spark. That when I tried a new cdi, did the start/stop switch test by disconnecting black/ white wires. Still nothing. Opened up the flywheel cover and my stator was basically in pieces falling off. So replaced stator and flywheel now trying to hook everything else up and ran into this issue.

Your solenoid is a/m which explains the different wire colors. The rubber housing for solenoid is oem which is why it says 6m6.

The solenoids often hang open or shut, especially the Chinese knockoff stuff. If its hung shut it would give the symptoms you are describing. For a temporary fix you can lightly tap it with a hammer to jar the insides a bit and try again. I had one hang open this weekend and gave mine a good tapping and i got to ride. If this end up being the issue replace it. You dont want to be out riding and the thing hang shut and you cant cut your ski off o_0
