Hi Ya'll I'm a newbie to this forum. I recently purchased a sea doo 230 wake 430 hp. Anyway one of the motors all of the sudden doesn't want to start. it turns over though. If I keep trying usually it will eventually fire up. Ive changed the spark plugs but still have this issue. can anyone help me with this problem? thank you

Fuel, spark, air - that's what you need to start the engines and what you need to troubleshoot.

I'd start with a compression check to ensure you're not wasting time on a bad engine. Get a spark plug tester to see if that engine is getting good spark at each plug. Then check fuel pressure at the fuel rail. This is pretty much the basics of troubleshooting any engine.

Good luck!
