SOURCE: have a 2000 yamaha XL700 waverunner. Will not

If the waverunner has an electronic "key" lock, it could have gotten tripped. We had this problem happen in the past where everything was fine, then it was tipped over and quickly back up... suddenly it wouldn't start. Used the remote and unlocked it - then it started!

SOURCE: yamaha xl1200 waverunner losses power after it is warmed up.

Hi, most likely cause and the easiest to check is exhaust leaking in the engine compartment. Run it without the seat fitted for the same time frame and if it fixes your problem you are looking for an exhaust leak. Regards Phil.

1999 Yamaha 1200GP Wave Runner wont' start. It has sat for about 2 years. I have new battery, new plugs and new gas, it turns over but won't start, any suggestions?

Sounds like the carbs are gummed up from the old gas sitting in them. Remove the carbs, disassemble, clean with a carb cleaner, and reassemble.

I have a 2000 Yamaha XL1200 waverunner. When I went to start it, the existing battery was weak. So, I put in a new battery and now it won't even try to start.

my 1998 xl 1200 has this thing it the batter is changed or if it sits for awhile you have to hit mode then something that says code should pop up on the screen then hit a b c a and then it should be able to start. but your code may be different

Waverunner sat for 4 months. thought battery was

Try jumping the waverunner using a set of jumper cables and your vehicle, this will rule out if the battery is bad. If you still have the same issue, check the connections. The connection at the starter or another place may have corroded a bit. Yet another option is to remove your spark plugs to make sure that your motor has not hydraulically locked. Once you have removed the plugs try and turn over the engine. You may need to ground out your plug wires if you have an electronic ignition to protect it. I hope this helps.
