Is something in the stator?
View attachment 101090
I would disconnect the battery and clear codes. Then I would pull the pump.Well I’m not 100% sure. I bought a battery on my way back home. My current battery is original and in its 3rd season.
It was very strange. After I cleared the rope, that motor would crank but not start. Then I got it to start but it was limited to 2k rpms
Then I parked, let the kids swim. when I tried starting, the other other would crank and not start.
When it finally started, that one would one do 2k rpm. But the other motor started and ran fine.
It’s got me baffled
Didn’t someone post about a year ago that as long as you push both throttles forward it doesn’t actually matter if the other engine is on...?
I was curious as to what you figured out?Well I’m not 100% sure. I bought a battery on my way back home. My current battery is original and in its 3rd season.

with the rope being ingested and the electrical issue happening right after. My hope was that you pull the pump and there would be something interfering with the stator.1st off. Thanks for everyone responses.
I’m dropping it off at the dealership today as I’m still under YES warranty.
I purchased a new battery Saturday night. Sunday, took it out locally in the bay and it ran great.
Got it home Sunday night and when I went to flush the motors, I immediately got the same 144 code. Also port motor wouldnt start. Once I got port motor to start, it was again limited to 2k rpm’s.
It’s def an electrical system issue and as you mentioned earlier, could be a stator issue.
I also noticed when I cranked the motors last night, I could hear a clicking noise. Almost like the sound a grill igniter makes.
I’m hoping the dealership can find the issue.
This is my 1st issues I’m having. Also both motors have about 88 hours in them.
