Unplugged water tube, cracked water tube, bad drive shaft hull seal, hole/crack in the hull, cracked water box, broken exhaust jacket water seal, water tubes plugged in incorrectly, no cap on flush kit, broken fitting on motor,etc. Dry out the boat take off the seat and place it in the water and look to see where the water is coming into the hull.

    You could also have a plugged siphon bilge or a broken electric bilge.

Sounds like you have some trash in the main jet of your carb. Take the carb off and clean it. That's prob all it is. Hope this helps.

I picked up a 1995 sl 750 Polaris jet ski charged up a new battery but when I push the start button nothing happens

Try using a jumper from the battery directly to the starter, bypassing the switch. You may have a bad starter switch.

Polaris troubleshooting

Sounds like a carb issue...make sure you have fresh ,clean gas.You havent got water in your carb/tank have you? I would start by taking the carb apart and give it a really good clean.Check all jets and orifices.Another words,take apart anything in the carb that you can,clean and replace.

Your jetting and adjustment is not right for that level . The Dealers should know that and adjust it for your level . It can also be your heat sensor what are not working correct anymore.
