hey all,
took the 1996 waveraider 700 in the lake today and here is what happened:
rode it about ten minutes, then it started to die. it NEVER spit or sputtered, just died. felt as if the kill switch key had been pulled.
when i try to restart it does one of the following everytime:
will start then just die or will continue to start and start and start but never crank over or lastly sometimes you can push the start button and all you hear is a clicking noise in the fuse box area (after pushing the start button about twenty times it will finally go back to trying to start and all the symptoms above start again)
we checked for spark on the plugs and both will fire. we poured gas directly into the carb and it will start up but when it burns out, it dies. checked all connections and they seemed fine.
please help guys, i am at a lost and can't afford $60 an hour at Yamaha. Thanks
