Help, my Polaris, PWC, engine won't STAY on!?

Question

Not the most mechanical, so bare with me! The engine will turn on and stay on for as long as I hold the start-ignition button. The minute I release the start button, the engine cuts off. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Uhmmm you definitely do NOT want to be sitting there pushing the start button.  The best that'll happen is you'll need a new starter.

the worst is that after you put the fire out you'll need a new PWC...  Unless you're doing this in your garage, and in that case you may need a new house.

When was the last time you used it?  Put new fuel in...  Check the fuel lines, make sure that fuel is getting to the engine... Do NOT *&$% with the carbs!

Answer 2

Put some gasoline in der tank, ya.

Answer 3

Turn it on and gas it to the fullest extent>!
