Keep using that ether and it may never start again, steevo.<br /><br />Get a manual and learn how to use a choke or primer to get it started.<br /><br />Good luck. :)

Re: 92 waverunner III

the easiest way to sovle the problem is to add a small primer bulb to the fuel line to your fuel line to your fuel pump and pump fuel to the carbs there are also primer kits or just buy start fluid with oil in it , try not to use straight either they make it with a top oil added for diesel engines, most times it is the fuel selector switch that is obstructed and it makes the fuel pump work hard to get fuel to the carbs after it looses it's prime, other times there is a loose hose fitting or clamp and it draws some air as it tries to prime the system, be sure all your hoses from the tank are tight.

It isn't a race ski its a family ski I would suggest you leave it alone and ride it till you get tired of it, any money you spend on it would really just be a waste, it's a 13 year old jet ski get your 500 bucks worth of fun out of it and don't monkey around with it.

I too had the same problem with a used yamaha i bought, i think overtons sells a primer kit for them, u take the choke plate off and mount this primer kit there and pump it from where the choke lever was mounted on the outside of the craft.
