Tools(1) A compression gauge (2) a spark gap tester.(3) A Clymer service manual for your engine. (you can purchase from your local dealer. I know all these are expensive but if your going to be a polaris tech you will always need them. Troubleshooting (1) check compression. Look at your Clymer manual for specific psi.all cylinders need to be over 100 lbs and equal each other within 5 lbs.(2) check spark. use a spark gap tester all cylinders should jump a half inch gap. if you have good compression and good spark, fuel is the problem nine
times out of ten.Ethanol gas is proven to stay stable in fuel systems for only 30 days in 90 + degree heat. Drain gas tank,clean fuel lines replace and replace all fuel filters. Polaris has a gravity filter under seat, clean it. Finally replace spark plugs, I know spark plugs probably don't look bad but this is a C.D.ignition. Fresh spark plugs means less resistance for the ignition system. The ignition system is week compared to automotive. Test drive polaris, if the problem is still there then there is further steps to take. If your polaris is fuel injected. Pull out your clymer manual. what is great about the Clymer Manual for Novice techs is it gives detailed info on your polaris. Troubleshooting tips and teaches you how your polaris works. If its carburetor then you should clean carburetors. Inside the carbs is another filter that needs to be cleaned. Its not difficult you just make sure you put everything back in proper order. take pictures if you need to.

Jet ski is "hard stopping"

Any motor that runs and then develops sudden stopping symptoms gives me suspicions of fuel delivery problems.
I'm not familiar with your machine, but I would be looking at the fuel filter as probably plugged up.
Wild guess, but sometimes I luck out.
Cheerfuls.

You are deal with moisture corrosion in your carburetor. Take the carb off and clean it paying attention to the corrosion on the rubber tipped needle. Also open your electronics box and make sure that it is dry.

Jet Ski Will not start when cold

If the teeter/totter needles are gummy or covered with moisture corrosion it could be the reason the machine is so hard to start. When storing the jet ski's syphon all the gas out and burn it in your car or truck. Even if you stabilize it it wont be good fuel in the spring. Your plastic tank will not rust so remove the fuel. You may be able to clean them up by running a tank of Chevron Techron through them. Before riding we charge are batteries and start are jet ski's on the trailer/lift before dropping in the lake. This saves the battery. It takes more juice to start the boat in the water.

No Spark to a 1994-1995 Polaris SL Jet ski

first have you done what is necessary for that such as draining the oil (unless it's a two stroke) draining the gas and refiling it with fresh gas and a couple bottles of gas line antifreeze (it sucks up water) ... for the electrical parts ... spray them with wd40... that will force out any moisture at all and oil does not conduct electricity.
