Jet Ski Trouble

[BobbyK]

Hi , I'm new to this thread and just having some issues with my stand up.

I fire it up yesterday day on the trailer in water and ran it for about 5 min. Sounded good. Responsive. Just like when I first took it out.

Now I fire it up today to go back on the lake and I'm getting quick bursts of ignition. Fires briefly then stalls. I took it home and I'm getting a spark briefly then nothing. No spark at all.

My theory is that the pulse sensor is sending intermittent signals or my battery is toast.

Any ideas as I'm starting to get extremely frustrated. The scupper valve might as well be an open hole for the amount of water it lets in. I've ordered another bilge so I can have a back up if one fails.

Thanks

For now screw or glue the scupper shut until you get a new one. NExt make sure your hood is sealing all the way. Probably get more info in the krash facebook page as well.

Also damn you are lucky to have been able to gps and use your own dive equipment to find your ski!

You better run it hard and fog the crap out of it. 5 minutes isn’t going to get all the water out of the crank bearings.

Dang man! These stories rarely resolve this quickly and smoothly!

Thanks!

Jeesh and props on the welding teeth on to a ring gear!

Very lucky, just lost my ski on the lake and dive crew is telling me it’s a total loss. Any idea how far the ski moved as it sank?? Hoping mine is somewhere in the general area. Really grasping at straws here as I’m out of 13k dollars.

Oh my God man I can't read these....can't imagine!! F%&^%#&!

 

[MADMAT]

Why did they say that? Did they see it? Or just feel they can't find it?

 

[MADMAT]

Was it a Krash?

Said that it could “be anywhere” and it’s not going to be easy to find. Lanyard didn’t shut ski off and I watched it ghost ride a thousand yards around a cliff into some dudes boat where it flipped over and 20 people watched it sink. Just put a dasa 1200 and a rrp pipe into it least week!!!!

 

[MADMAT]

Oh Jesus.

Wow! Great job recovering the ski!!! Good luck getting it rippin again!

Hell of a first post. Welcome to the X Bobby.

Wish I could offer advice on Krash setups but youre best bet would be to contact them directly.

Keep us posted on how it goes.

Jetmaniac has a ball scupper for Krash skis to replace the flap style if that helps

After charging the battery all night it fired right up today. As if nothing happened. I don't understand how a non charging flywheel works. Does the ski need the battery to fire the spark plugs while the engine is running? Does this mean that eventually when the battery is drained enough it will stop firing the spark plugs.

As soon as it went down I marked the location with my watch.

What Watch!?!

A buddy of mine floats sunken boats when the Harbor Master calls him. Someone in each of our small groups probably needs to own a float bag. But when I looked at the Garmin website last night, the "man over board" GPS tagging watch was $1,800.

Yes. The ski is running off the battery till the battery dies then your riding is over until you charge it back up or swap. Total loss systems are stupid unless your trying to backflip flat water.

Did either of these skis have any foam?
