Hey everyone!
So I'm obviously very new to posting here, but I am not new to scouring these forums for information I have needed in the past. HOWEVER, now I have encountered an issue that I am truly stumped over.
I have a 98 Yamaha Waverunner gp760 that I've had for about a year now. Couple months ago, I get back to the dock after riding it all day, go to start it to get her on the trailer, aaaannnddd it wouldn't start. I will save a lot of time here by simply stating I've gone through all the basic troubleshooting procedures as I am more mechanically savy than your average individual. That being said, pwc's are not something that I have a plethora of knowledge on.
Things I've done thus far;
Had starter rebuilt
Replaced the solenoid with a new one
Rewired both positive and negative cables to battery
What the issue is;
The ski simply will not even attempt to turn over. Once I hit the code on the dash to unlock the ski, and I hit the green ignition button, there is a mysterious buzz coming from the electrical box. Now, I heard this "buzz" after I had the starter rebuilt. I had it rebuilt because when the ski wouldn't start at the dock for me I figured there was a flat spot in the gearing of the starter. But the gentleman who rebuilt it for me told me he found nothing wrong with it. When I installed the newly rebuilt starter, is also when I replaced the pos and neg cables. THIS is when I began noticing that upon attempting to push the ignition button, there is a buzzing sound. I immediately figured the solenoid was bad, so I replaced it. Charged the battery up, filled her up with new gas, went and hit start.... and wouldn't you know it... it still buzzes. Now, the dash seems to be dim to me. And when I put the ski into "Lock" mode, the red light flashes twice and goes to flash a third time but all of a sudden cuts off like all power has all of a sudden been disconnected.
I am very perplexed by this issue. Anyone have any thoughts at all on what this could be?
Thanks in advance!
