    Sportjet 175XR2 Enrichment valve

    Doing some testing on my new to me sportjet and have come to find my enrichment valve doesn't click on when I push the key in or just turn it to on. I have 11.5v to the butt connectors and when I jumped 12v power to the valve itself it does click. Is my issue with the key switch or a bad connection somewhere? Boat is cold blooded but does start and idle good. The motor is a 2002 in a 2003 alumaweld. Serial#OE411670

    Sounds like it’s either the key switch or the wiring to from switch to the valve. Just need to check voltage at the switch when pushed in and then at the valve to see where the problem is.

    After cleaning grounds for the TKS and cleaning the pin connector I have verified the enricher is functioning. Thanks

    That's what your testing had said- you were disconnected precisely where the problem was.
