The continuing saga of the wave runners.......

Some of you might remember when Todd and I sunk the wave runners at Utah Lake a couple of years ago.  Sean spent lots of time reading stuff online and trying to get them running again.  Most people said we would need to buy new engines and there was no hope.  He kept working and did finally get them running again.  Time got away from us last summer to go try them and almost again this summer.  But, he could start them up in the driveway so we thought we would take them out today.

We loaded them up, all got changed and loaded in the car.  Tyrel said he wanted to be first since he was bummed he didn't get a chance to ride them last time (2 years ago).  We got to the lake.  Sean and Tyrel got on the wave runners.  Sean's started but Tyrel had no luck once he got into the water.  So, we put that one back on the trailer and Tyrel traded Sean and took off.  I told him not to go very far just in case it killed again. 

Sean tried to work on the other one and could get it to turn over but no spark.  Tyrel drove around for a bit and then rode back to the dock to give someone else a turn.  When he was almost back to the dock, it killed and he couldn't get it started again.  Wouldn't even turn over.  So, he paddled to the side and we loaded it up and came home.  Sean thinks the battery is dead.  So, Tyrel had a bit of fun but the rest of us didn't.  Hopefully all is not lost..............
