2016 Chapparel Vortex 243 Engine Troubles

[tommyh916]

Having a P0335 code that is being thrown on the starboard side; engine will not start. Will crank but no fire. After looking it up on google, it looks like it’s a fault for the crankshaft positioning sensor. Can anyone give me advice on where this sensor is, how to replace, and where to buy? Thank you in advance

Voila attached the pertinent pages as well. I'd start by simply checking your electrical connections. Unplug/replug. I've seen someone else have this issue and that was the only problem.

Wow thank you again! You’ve been so helpful. Do you know where I could obtain a CPS sensor if it is faulty and I need a new one ?

I'm in Canada. Our sources are much more limited here. But I'd start with any local Sea-Doo/BRP dealer. You can lookup the part number from BRP directly here: epc.brp.com

Select Rotax JPS>AF = 2016>engine HP>type and then find the right diagram (under PTO Cover and Magneto).

Appears to be part 47, BRP#0460685 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, INCL 48

I checked for the 200HP engine, but they are probably all the same.

So it turns out this part is on backorder for at least a month. Do you happen to know if any generic part would work? Or if the same sensor can be bought from a different manufacturer? Thanks

A quick search seems to indicate there's a new part number which replaces that one above I mentioned.

The new number is 420966570.

Example: Sea-Doo 420966570 - Crankshaft Position Sensor Ass'y : Fox Powersports Sea-Doo Partshouse

Not saying that part isn't backordered too... but if you or they are looking with the older number, it may always say it's backordered/delayed.

But with covid, supply chains, etc. Who knows...
