2-Stroke Waverunner Advice

If you can, find a manual of the internals. Then change the battery and see if it runs. If it doesn't, take it apart and clean everything and fix loose wires, etc. If it still doesn't run, try and troubleshoot the individual components.

I have no experience with waverunners, but this is my go-to solution for fixing anything I don't have experience with.

Drain the tank obviously.
If it was winterized it should have been.

Throw some fresh premix in it, jumper cables and see if it starts. If you want to be anal pull the coil wires and crank it for for awhile. 5 second bursts, one minute.

If that is pic related a re grease on the trailer wheel bearings is in order after sitting there for a decade.

>pull the coil wires

I'd just pull the plugs out and ground the spark plug leads so they are not running into an open circuit. Probably good to get some fresh fuel and oil through the thing as the old 2 stroke oil leftovers will have gone thick. Drop a little fuel oil mix down the plug holes and let it sit for 5 before cranking.

This is good advice but I'd go a bit further for a 10 year period.

Change any gearbox oil. remove spark plugs and pour at least 30ml of fuel/oil mix down each cylinder. change battery and crank over - by hand at first if possible to gauge if things are still moving.

crank at full speed with the plugs out (might get a bit messy) then put the plugs in and try and get it running. Let it idle for a while then take the plugs out and clean them thoroughly.

2strokes like being pushed so the next step (if everything seems to be working) is to take it for a run.

OP here, thank you all for the replies. Im going up to the farm tomorrow and will cross my fingers and go for it.

I like the idea of pouring some mix down the sparkplug holes. I will see if i can turn it over by hand at avoid seizing before I let the starter motor go at it.

Luckily there is no gearbox, so I do not have to worry about that.

If it starts while dry, im gonna shut it off and take and drag it to the lake. The loading ramp is a 1/2 mile from where I am storing the waverunner. My next concern is, will it sink on me. I doubt it will be an issue though.

Don't run it dry for too long. Shit will get hot fast. 30 secs would probably be a safe maximum.

Yea i figured I would run it just enough to know that its not fucked, then turn it off. I guess there is a hose intake, although I am so close to a private ramp, so I am not going to bother with it. Just dump her in the lake and stay near shore to evaluate it from there.

Wish me luck. Any other advice will be greatly appreciated.
