I picked up a 96 Sportster last week, It has a new motor from sea doo, impeller upgrade. I took it out to lake anna today, and it started no problem at the landing dock, and we rode around for abour 20-30 min. put it in Neutral, and shut her off. hooked up a tube and it didnt want to start again. it would turn over but wouldnt fire. so i just kept trying and it finally fired up.
Rode around with the tube, and again turned it off and unhooked the tube. brought the tuber in and this time it beeped when trying to start (im guessing there the key wasnt all the way in and/or the boat wasn't fully in nuetral.
I would get a Beep beep beep, and then sometimes a solid beep. (what do different beeps mean?)
so after playing around with the gear select it would turn over. same thing wouldnt fire up pull the choke, nothing. put the choke back in and just kept cranking and it fired up. When we got back to the dock in the no wake area, it was just crusing in on idle. and it sounded like it wanted to stall out.
I pulled the plugs when I got home and they aren't too bad, im going to go ahead and toss in a new pair. and the battery was at 70% and about 12.9 volts.
I noticed after putting teh boat away that the fuel select was on reserver, imt not sure why or how it got turned to that, so i just turned it back to normal. I haven't tried to fire it up yet until i grab the new plugs.
I was told to gap the plugs at .020 is that about right for everyone else?
I know this is a long post, but Id figure i'd give everyone as much info as possible
