i have a 99 and its got a enhancer and water injection and thats about it with electronics

i have been noticing lateley that one press on the green button doesnt do anything it make a small click but then nothing. so i usually have to hit it and on the 3-4th time is fires right up.

i start them both once a week
06 supejet is fine. so its not like there cold.

Mine has started doing the exact same thing. I have a TL ignition set up by JSS with a 1yr old starter solenoid, so I doubt that is it. I also have to hold the off button in for a few seconds to turn it off. I didn't use to have to do that. I'm thinking the start/stop switch could be both of our problems.

mine did the same thing. it turned out to be in the actual switch housing the stop button wires were jacked and would randomly short as if i was pressing the stop button.

OK, I have a new msd starter relay...not a solenoid...my bad.

I checked my start/stop switch. Opened them all up and they were all clean. Now I'm clueless again. Hope your having better luck than me.

A relay is a switch contact activated by an electromagnet. The purpose it to have a small current activate the magnet to make a switch contact close that will handle a large current. This isolates the large current carrying wires from the small switch that activates the magnet. Your ski uses a starter relay. A solenoid is a electomagnet that activates a plunger that moves a lever or engages a valve or larger device. Automotive starters use a solenoid to kick the starter gear head out to the flywheel. Similar but different. You probably have either a bad starter relay or a starter that has a failing brush contact. Troubleshoot the relay first.

last year my start stop would just not work out of now where randomly, it turned out to be plugs that went in to the ebox. but mine was all or nothing i would think its ur relay or a bad connection

i raceed my sj-rode in world finals novice limited and a few other events it was fun. just to do it. those peep are good-
the new 08 is the best to race. they were keeping up with the sxr and killin it but the sxr is not really the best boat for stock class. or the hs for that matter.

today i will tear down the 99's e box and let you know whats what

update-

so i opened her up and this it what i found

no enhancer-lol oh well thats typical craigslist

there was a hole carved out if the stock mitsubishi-see pic

there was a bunch of mold/salt on all grounds and around stuff

the male/female connectors are ok and clean


needs new enhancer or oem

box needs new seal or to be drilled on the bottom-any suggestions would help.



oh and i may put it a enhancer i like mine in the 06 no problems. and since i have to get a new oem might as well go msd

clean up all the contacts, grounds, and both positive wire connections inside your box while it is open. use dielectric grease on all connections. in your start stop switch check the tether switch. it is a slide switch that has two contacts on little springs that can get gummed up and not let the spring push the contact to the other point of contact. this was my intermediate start button problem. kinda hard to describe but if you take it apart you will see what has to be done to maintain good contact.
