I bought a 1991 Sea Doo SP Jet Ski this past Friday. The Sea Doo is beyond hard to crank over, but after it turns on it will run. Now out on the lake I had it out for about 15 minutes, and it died on me, and I couldn't get it to start back up. Any ideas on what could cause that problem? When I don't have it in the water, and I try to crank the motor it will take about 3 minutes to get it to crank over, and it will finally fire right up. I've only had it in the water the one time so I'm completely lost as to what the problem is. I've never owned a jet ski before, so this is a whole new machine to me.
