This is basically just to vent...
It's been quite an interesting first month with my Spark. I've had it for 26 days now, and it's currently out of the water for the 3rd time to get worked on.
2 weeks ago I sucked up something on a Saturday morning. Couldn't get a new wear ring until that Monday, so I didn't have it all weekend. Fixed it myself and was good to go.
The following Saturday morning I was riding and then all of a sudden a loud warning noise was accompanied by a "Voltage" warning on the display. I killed the engine. Subsequent attempts to crank the thing didn't work. The display turned on, but I got nothing when trying to start the engine. Got towed home and sent it off to the shop. They said it was something to do with the ground wire and wires coming loose. I got it back today....
Was really stoked. Put it in the water and then got a "Check Engine Temp" message and the ski just stopped after 10 minutes of riding. It stayed cranked, but simply came to a halt. Couldn't accelerate for more than 5 seconds before the same thing happened. Waited 10 minutes. Cruised around for 3 or 4 minutes and then bam, same thing happened. WTF. Took off the access panel and hardly any heat came out. I'm thinking it's something electrical that is tripping the sensor.
It's currently on the way back to the shop. Again. I'm pretty bummed. I don't even have 10 hours on this thing yet. This is my first time owning a watercraft and it's not been a good experience so far. First world problems, my jet ski won't work.
