RN electrical issues... Still

NVJAY775

My home away from home.
I lost interest in fixing it the last time I had a thread going, due to a lame injury. Here's the link to the last thread. www.x-h2o.com/threads/60183

So I put in the new starter relay and it still wouldn't crank. Well, I should have listened when I was told to test the ground to the ebox. I jumped a ground to the ebox and it cranked and got spark too. So I was thinking the stator lost its ground, and I ran a wire from the black stator wire to the case. Fired it up. It ran rough, boggy, big misses, that sounded ignition related. And as an added bonus the kill button didn't work. So I pulled the lanyard out and it still ran. So I pulled a plug wire to kill it.

So now I am a bit confused again. Could a bad stator that lost ground, with my added ground act like that? Or maybe something wrong with my start stop button box on the bars? My battery ground wire gets perfect continuity also. I don't know if it's messed up, but it does have perfect continuity.

Thanks again guys. And sorry for the link to my last thread.

If I disconnect the (added) ground wire to the stator I am back to no cranking when start button is pushed.

If I were you I would just send the whole electical system to jet ski solutions and have them go though it and check everything there. That way your system will be perfect and better then stock and you never have to worry about it while your out riding. just my 2 cents.

It sound like you have 2 problems.

The stator black wire grounds the ebox. If a jumper wire fixes the problem, then you are good, unless the stator screws are loose and that is also causing timing/other issues from moving around.

The start/stop switch sounds like you have a stop/lanyard problem. Try inserting/pulling lanyard a bunch of times first. Disconnect the black/white to bypass. Replace/clean switch to fix.

Ebox came from JSS. But ya never know. They did not have the stator though.

I'll check out both those possible causes. Do I pull the flywheel to get to the stator screws? I'm guessing so, cuz I didn't see any screws when I had the front cover off recently.

Thanks guys. I'll hopefully post back tonight.
