Was Diagnosing an 1100 Kawasaki Jet Ski this morning.
Symptom: It wont run, but it will crank over all day long.
Found: Coils not firing due to no primary voltage, but to be specific I did hookup my meter to the primary side and upon cranking I watch it peak up to 40 volts momentarily then quickly drops off to nothing. This is on all 3 coil packs. Charge coil voltage going into the pack is good. Trigger coil voltage going into the pack is also good, around 0.3 to 1 volt. Capacitor charge coil voltage was around the same as the Charge coil's. Checked continuity from battery neg. side to all the mounting bolts I could find in the box and it beeped every time. Engine ground is also verified good.
There is a single cable lead coming from the battery to the electronics box (solenoid) then from there to the starter. Negative battery cable hookup along with another random wire that seems to be coming from the front sealed control box.
Should that wire be on the negative or the positive? I found it on the negative side but can't be sure if thats where it really belongs.
