Waverunner wont start

When i press the start button there is nothing at all no clicks or anything do i have to reset the computer its a 1997 yamaha gp 760

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    The first thing I would check is the battery. Is it still connected? Do you get lights or instruments when you turn the key on? What is the battery voltage as you try to start the waverunner? If it drops below 10v your battery is bad and needs to be replaced.

You do not have to reset the computer, but you do have to enter in your security code for the padloc security system. If you have forgotten your code or never entered one before, you will need to do that now. It is an easy fix. First, open the front hatch and find the blue connector. It will have only one wire in it. Disconnect that connector. Now, on your meter panel, hit and hold the mode button till the word CODE appears on the right gauge. At that time, hit any combination of any 4 letters from the buttons down the right. They can be all the same or all different, you just have to enter 4 letters. Now plug the blue connector back in, put the trunk back, and hit the start button. If it does not crank, hit and hold the mode button again and re-enter the code you just stored. After you enter the correct code, it will now say START and you are good to go.

What is the size and year model of my yamaha waverunner the hull id # yama31321394

Yamaha did not make the GP model until 97 and if the numbers you posted are correct you have a 94, that being said all yamahas up until 93 were either a 500 or a 650 so im guessing its not a superjet which is a standup so you may have a waverunner 3, Raider, Blaster, or a wave runner LX. What colors are on it? does it have twin carbs? there will also be a sticker on the engine cases noting engine size.
