I’m trying to get a little help here. I’m really good with 2 stroke engines. I rebuild dirt bike and banshee engines all the time. I also build high performance Chevy and Ford Mustang engines as a hobby. This is my buddy’s boat and I’m trying to help him fix it but now that it’s at my house I can’t even figure out how to turn it on. I put the key fob in earlier and I didn’t hear any beep. I turned the nav switch on and I noticed the lights were dim so I got the battery charging. I have the adapter to connect the inlet to each engine through the back of the boat. The problem he’s having is the right side engine runs, but when he puts it in gear it dies. I also noticed it has three levers on the right side and the one in the middle feels like it’s not even hooked up. Some advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m not sure what model it is but I do know the year is a 97 because I checked the HIN. And I read the tag on the starboard side and it says I think 717. But I’ll double check to make sure. Also there is a lever under the steering wheel I forget what they call it but yea under the steering wheel and I’m not sure what that goes to. I’m also wondering were the two stroke oil fill is at. I want to make sure I do a good job on this because some shop out of business told him it needed a new top end on the starboard side. That wouldn’t be a problem for me because I’ve built two strokes for the last 25 years and I understand the intake valve description. Even the bottom ends are just the same as regular dirt bikes and the rebuild would almost be the same.
