SJ starting Problems?? help plz

[P4ljets103]

Hey guys, so i just replaced my starter...the ski started right up.

i was riding for about 20 minutes and then i was just idling and it died.
tried starting it again, but all it does is turn and turn. pulled up the spark plugs and i didnt see any spark when i hit the start button.

Any ideas?

Thanks alot

OK, I know this is a stupid question, but.... you have gas, right?

Yes check your filters inside your carbs, if you run your reserve line alot they can get plugged up

Checked the carbs, still no luck. could it be electrical?

i have a brand new selenoid. spark plugs. starter

Check your connections on the starter, they my have loosened off while you were riding for that half hour

and make sure your battery is fully charged

If the connections were loose on the starter, would it not be trying to turn at all?

I'm pretty sure your ground is attached to your starter, if you have a bad ground that would be why you have no spark, your ski uses the most power when your trying too start it so you have too have a good ground, when ever I have electrical problems I always check the ground, and check the battery my ski only has problems starting after a few hours of a rookie riding, they drain the battery because of using the starter so much everytime they fall off
