You need to start at the simple stuff. Check the spark plugs and see if they are wet with gas. If not, could be a fuel pump issue. See if the plugs are fouled, change them and check for spark. If you have both, it should at least sputter. Check for water in the fuel.

SOURCE: Overheating YAMAHA XLT 1200 jet ski

you may have something clogged in a water passage but more than likley u have a bad sensor the sensor is located on the main exhuast if you go on the right side of the ski and look in the engine compartment it will be located at 9 oclock u will see it sticking out of the exhuast with one wire comming out after u run the ski and the buzzer goes off pull the seat and see if the engine is really hot if u can not touch it will be hot but it has to be very hot for the sensor to pick it up if u can touch the motor and exhuast it is a bad sensor

SOURCE: how to replace seal on a jet ski

The seals in the drive pump can be replaced by taking off the ride plate and pump housing. To replace any other seals (engine or hull) you will have to remove the motor from the hull.

If the seal is in the jet pump, get an impellor tool and replace all the seals and bearings in the jet pump. You will have to pull the engine to replace the crankcase seals or the rear hull seal.

Jet ski is "hard stopping"

Any motor that runs and then develops sudden stopping symptoms gives me suspicions of fuel delivery problems.
I'm not familiar with your machine, but I would be looking at the fuel filter as probably plugged up.
Wild guess, but sometimes I luck out.
Cheerfuls.

What is the difference between a powerboat and a jet ski?

5_22_2013_9_45_08_pm.jpgvs.5_22_2013_9_44_20_pm.jpgA powerboat is the type of boat you traditionally think of as a motorboat or speedboat. Imagine a water skier behind it. A jet ski is a personal watercraft for 1-4 people. The passangers sit on top of a jet ski with their legs on either side.

How to maintain my jet ski?

If you plan to store a jet ski in a garage, you will need to make sure it is dry and cool and with limited exposure to the sun. In general, you need to do what you can to prevent rust and other grime that eventually may cause mechanical issues.

Washing your jet ski is also needed after every use. You can use your car wash products. I also suggest to read the user's manual, it may include tips about maintaining your jet ski.

You can protect the engine with a special spray and water repellant.

If you plan to store your jet ski for a while, it is preferred that you will disconnect the battery.

Jet Ski Will not start when cold

If the teeter/totter needles are gummy or covered with moisture corrosion it could be the reason the machine is so hard to start. When storing the jet ski's syphon all the gas out and burn it in your car or truck. Even if you stabilize it it wont be good fuel in the spring. Your plastic tank will not rust so remove the fuel. You may be able to clean them up by running a tank of Chevron Techron through them. Before riding we charge are batteries and start are jet ski's on the trailer/lift before dropping in the lake. This saves the battery. It takes more juice to start the boat in the water.
