  If your Sea-doo Boat engine won't start, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the safety lanyard cap is correctly installed or replaced if worn. Check the 5A fuse and replace it if burnt, after inspecting the wiring. If the fuse keeps burning, examine the wiring, solenoid, and MPEM. A discharged battery could also be the culprit, so check and recharge it. Finally, verify, clean, and tighten the battery connections.

  If your Sea-doo Boat engine is misfiring or running irregularly, start by checking the spark plugs for fouling, defects, or wear; verify their heat range and gap, and replace if necessary. Also, stale or water-fouled fuel can cause issues; check, siphon, and refill the fuel tank. A dirty or restricted fuel filter can also be the cause, so inspect, clean, or replace it. Finally, ensure the carburetor is clean and properly adjusted.

  If your Sea-doo Boat engine runs too fast, it may be due to a faulty rev limiter. Another potential cause is an improper impeller pitch (too low), which should be checked and replaced if necessary. Also, check for jet pump cavitation. Finally, inspect for jet pump ventilation and reseal if needed.
