04 gtx sc just clicks

[mooneyb91084]

Thats all it does when i try to start it. I thought it was the battery took it to advance and they said it was fine. Brought it back home and still nothing. So then I tried jumping it from another ski and did the same thing, i put the lanyard on wait for it to beep and then when i hit the started button i can hear something clicking in the motor. Any ideas would help.....


thanks

can you turn the engine over by hand by clamping some vice grips to the shaft( inside the hull) and turning it back and forth??

Check the solonid.....Mounted on the side of the MPEM. The red device that the positive battery cable is connected to.....

He is right check silonoid first with test light.One side is always hot the other side goes hot when you hit the start button.Pull the plugs that will make the motor turn over easy.If it goes hot the start might be bad.


If that does not do it pull supercharger and pump to see if they are locked up.If they are OK it has to be in the motor.

... also check main 30A fuses to left of MPEM - just went thru same think w/ my 05! Was a corroded fuse!

Hope the timing chain isn't broke. Most likely the solenoid/relay unless it did it while running, if you can turn the drive shaft (with the spark plugs out) then the pump and engine should be ok, and it could be a bad connection, relay, or starter; If not then I'd pull the pump (jet) and see if it's the pump or the engine. 185's are notorious for blowing up down here....
