Hi. i Bought a 97 xp not too long ago. When i first got it everything ran perfect, but it leaked water by the stuffing box or whatever it's really called. Well i got that problem fixed and she still ran good after that. Last weekend i took it out and she fired up good at the dock after about a 5-10 minuite ride everything just shut down. I would try to start it but i wouldn't have any luck. after a 45 minuite ride back to the dock :facepalm: i tried to start it again but the starter wasnt engaging it sounded like. when i opened the hood to take a look it sounds like a fan noise is comming from the starter. I figured it is junk and i'm going to need to replace it but does anyone have any idea on why it would have killed on me? And no for you people out there i had a full tank of gas and it was on :cool: I would greatly appreciate any help i could get because paying $100./hour is not in my budget.
