MSD TL - help with no start

[surfgy45]

had everything running just fine with no change in location of wires, but its been about a months and a half of no run time. now all i get is *click* at the solenoid.

bad solenoid? checked all wires and grounds everythings good to go.

how do you know if you have a bad starter?

what else should i try?

First things first...... Check the battery? Then with a multi meter start working your way down stream from the positive of the battery thru the solinoid to the starter? Also check for bad ground??
Not much else after that

battery seems the likely culprit, a battery on a TL system should have a trickle charger on it to keep juice in the battery

Agree, always check the battery first.

I'm gonna guess the starter solenoid took a crap, especially if it a MSD unit, I have had nothing but problems with those cheap arse parts, I hear that the oem sea-poo units are a better alternative but have yet to try it out..

The seadoos are suposed to be sealed better, but the local seadoo mechanic says he replaces them regularly even though they are inside elec. box. Dont waist your money, go to lowes and get 2 so you have a spare.
