Go here
http://www.standupjetski.com/vmax.htm for my 83 V-Max project. I'm in the process of going through everything and have learned a lot from this experience. Having been a prior owner of a brand new SRX 700 and a current owner of a Yamaha Superjet stand-up jetski; I have a passion for yamaha products.

Can you say Parts ? ! ?
What a project and learning experience ! Maybe a seal was leaking ? Always a good idea to keep an eye on the gear case lube and antifreeze for cross containments ! Good luck !

I'm not exactly sure what the problem was to cause it to not turn over. It was either the water pump impeller gear or that rusted bearing that rides on the crankshaft. I knew there was a coolant leak and I took my chances. Either way it had to be repaired sometime.
I got a gearcase and crankshaft off ebay for $100 shipped. I'll be back in business soon
