I have my first SportJet 120 boat. and it is hard to start each time at the water. I was told to pull the button and advance the lever to start. also there was instructions to push the key in to activate the enrichment. doing all this seems to have no effect. if i pull the plugs some times it seems to be a bit flooded and other times dry but there is no difference in sound. after I pull the plugs and dry them . i have the best chance to get it started, I have learned this the hard way. once running i have to get it warmed up for 20 seconds and then it sounds great and works. 40Mph with consistant. if i shut off, i have one shot to start it again when warm. if it does not start ,it just cranks over and over. i can get it started only after pulling plugs and drying them with a cloth. i have noticed the lowest plug some times has a slight milky coating on it. and only rarely. most of the time clean like the rest. compression test shows 120 on all when cold with fog oil spray in cylindars. not sure if the gage is low as i have seen people getting 150. but the motor runs good once i get it running. I have replaced the plugs with new ones and checked the stator. the resistance readings seemed a bit high between the blue and blue and white. it was 8500 and the range was 6800 to 7600 the manual says replace. I want the boat to start consistantly and i do not want to play the buy all new parts game with out knowing the cause. ether the motor starts and purrs or it just turnes over. i never hear pops and sputters or back fires. Carbs look clean, breather tubes look like they were cleaned , no wax build up. at this point i feel like the engine floods out on its own but after i dry the plugs it seems to need the enrichment to start.
