Make sure your shifter cable isn't out of adjustment . It must be in true neutral position on the engine and not advanced out of position. All boats have a safety feature that either cuts power to the starter or the spark plug and fuel pump. There are is a little adjustment room on either end of the cable . If you are in sure disconnect the cable at the engine and move the leaver on the engine to neutral . Then try and start up. The other issue that is over looked is a bad kill switch on the shifter or a corroded and or loose battery wire at the battery or at the engine.

Sound like corrosion on tilt pin. Grease it or one day it will stuck and cost hundreds to remove and replace.

Should be easy. It is all DC voltage. One hot and one ground. Not sure why you need a diagram for dc.

If you don't disconnect the battery while charging it you can cause damage to the high speed rectifier and coils.

Something is blocking the water from entering the water jacket on the left side. You may have installed the gasket incorrectly or missed a blockage.

sounds like you sheared the the shaft. If you can spin the turbine by hand than you will need to take it into your service techs to fix it.

This is a lost spark system... The two holes share everything related to ignition including the pickup under the flywheel. Swap two of the pickup leads and see if the problem moves with the suspect pickup. Make sure all the spark plugs are removed, or you could cause pre detonation if the engine starts.

Your fuel pump is connected to the block which experiences positive and negative pressure. As the piston moves up it sucks fuel and air into the block. As the piston moves down it builds up pressure in the block. This pressure is used to force the fuel air mixture into the inlet port of the cylinder. So what you think is exhaust pressure is a normal condition. Get a rebuild kit and rebuild your fuel pump.

Check the kill switch. Sounds like a malfunction

It's a two stroke .. Mix oil to gas before you add gas to your tank.

This PWC uses a 2 cycle engine, no oil in the crankcase, oil is mixed with gas..

Safe rule of thumb is 2 loose leaf papers jammed between the points and one side of a cardboard cover for storing those pages between the magneto and the flywheel. Grew up poor and still use those trucks to this day.

Most of those lift with a hydrolic piston. Seals might be going or need some more fluid.

Yamaha uses pink for fuel gauge to sender

Check your fluids , next check the leg oil , then check to see if you got a good water stream... should be like a good pea stream and not spurtty. . If that is all good check your battery ... if they are problematic they will cause all kinds of problems. Lastly check to make sure the grounds are really tight at the engine and the battery. If they are starting to loosen the extra vibration will cause the alarm to chirp.
