The waverunner was working great a couple of weeks ago, it sat for about a week while I was on vacation and now it attempts to start but does not quite make it. I replaced the plugs, the battery is new, I know the battery is not bad I just put a brand new one in, I thought it may be low and jumped it which usually worked when the old bad battery was in there, still nothing.

Does anyone know what could cause this problem or if there is anything else I need to check out with regards to this issue?

I had a 98 gp1200 and it would loose its prime if it sat for more than a week I had to use starter fluid in one of the cylinders to get it to regain its prime probably not a good long term fix.

you JUST put a new battery in?

take out the battery and have it load tested at an autoparts store, it may not have had a proper charge to begin with.

jump starting the ski, you may have fried the voltage rectifier.

good luck
