Fuel-Flooded Engine - SeaDoo 2002 GTX 4-TEC Operator's Manual

Fuel-Flooded Engine

When the engine does not start after
several attempts, the engine may be
fuel-flooded. Proceed as follows.
To prevent fuel to be injected and also
to cut the ignition at the engine crank-
ing, proceed as follows.
While engine is stopped, fully depress
throttle lever and HOLD for cranking.
Crank engine several times.
If it does not work:
Pull engine cover upward to remove it.
Disconnect ignition coil connectors.
WARNING
When disconnecting coil from
spark plug, always disconnect coil
from main harness first. Never
check for engine ignition spark
from an open coil and/or spark
plug in the engine compartment
as spark may cause fuel vapor to
ignite.
IMPORTANT: Never cut the locking
ties of coil connectors. This would allow
mixing the wires between cylinders.
Remove ignition coils.
CAUTION: Ensure there is no dirt in
coil holes prior to removing the spark
plugs. Otherwise, dirt would fall into
cylinder and will damage the internal
components.

Remove spark plugs.
NOTE: After untightening the spark
plugs, a coil may be used to pull the
spark plugs out. Simply bring the coil
down to spark plug and "hook" it to
then extract spark plug.
Install new spark plugs if avalaible or dry
spark plugs using a rag.
Cover spark plug holes with a rag.
Crank engine several times while
keeping throttle fully depressed.
Reinstall spark plugs and ignition coils.
Install clean dry spark plugs if possible.
Reconnect ignition coil connector.
NOTE: Prior to inserting the ignition coil to
its location, apply some BOMBARDIER
LUBE lubricant around the seal area that
touches the spark plug hole. After installa-
tion, ensure the seal seats properly with
the engine top surface.
To reinstall engine cover, push it down-
ward until it snaps.
Start engine as explained above. If en-
gine continues to flood, see an autho-
rized Sea-Doo dealer.
CAUTION: Never run engine without
supplying water to the exhaust cool-
ing system when watercraft is out of
water.
