Lakeside Tech repaired both of my EMM's. They work flawlessly! It's nice to have somebody that's honest repairing these.

Was having an issue with my MSX, Darrin contacted me through GreenHulk and offered to check my EMM. Shipped him the EMM only to find out after testing that it was fine, my issue was a faulty throttle position sensor. Darrin shipped my EMM back to me with a clean bill of health. I very much appreciate him taking the time to help me with my machine, its now back on the water running great! Thank you again!! ~ Jeff 2003 Polaris MSX 140

My 2000 stx di just died yesterday and thought it was out of gas. Filled it up and nothing. Tries to start but just doesn't get there. Fuel pump is pumping fuel from the filter. Gauge is sunburned so I can't see anything on it for codes. It was dark so didn't get a chance to check for spark yet. Any way to check that the EMM mite be bad before sending ou to you? Thanks Jason Childress

Does the engine have spark?

If yes, dribble a small amount of gasoline (maybe a teaspoon?) down one throttle body air intake (with flame arrestor removed). See if the engine will fire up (do not be leaning over the engine while cranking).

I'll check it for spark and compression in the morning. I'll report back Thanks Jason

Keep us posted, I'll be glad to take a look at your EMM if it turns out to be suspect.

So it's getting spark. Poured a little gas in the spark plug holes and got it to fire up and stayed running for about 10 seconds and revved fine. Then died and went start again. Maybe injectors? Any way to check them?

Will it restart if fuel primed again?

These Ficht direct injection 2-stroke engines are VERY different from ‘normal’ fuel injected car and truck engines. The while system works differently, diagnostics are different and the things that typically cause trouble are different. Almost never are the fuel injectors themselves a problem.
