09 FXHO occasional starting issue 1.8L

[aha]

Hey Chaz get this... on Sunday an Ultra 260 with a low battery caused the ski to stop running! Who would have thought that now days you need your battery in top shape in order to run these high end watercraft.

Yep. That happened DP. to Cat. also. Blue 250 we towed (Sea Tow) was battery issue.
Lot of guys raced 2 strokes with total loss set-ups. No magnets on flywheel = quicker acceleration! I doubt this was done off-shore. Maybe we need Yuasa of Interstate battery boat to chase guys around.

But you didn't notice any slow cranking or any other weak battery symptom when you were having the hard starting issue, did you?

Nope. Cranked fine.
