I have a 2013 Yamaha SX240, the right side motor won't crank, the left motor starts perfectly. I started the right motor from the solenoid, but it won't start with the ignition key. I Installed a brand new solenoid.
checked batteries and switched the batteries both batteries are good. can anybody help???

Could be the ignition switch - it's a pretty simple contact switch to engage the solenoid and not hard to replace.

Make sure the throttle is in the neutral detent! I had this issue and that was my problem. Even if it looks like it is in neutral, check it physically. Just a slight bit out and the engine will not crank.

If the lanyard is good. The solenoid is good, The battery connection on the starter is good, Battery is good , fuses, ignition switch, the throttle in neutral, and the cleanout switch would be the thing I would check. you could check for resistance on the switch.

And check the rear hatch switches.....your starboard side switch may be mis-adjusted or loose. Does it turn over or do nothing? If it turns over, then it isn't the clean out hatch switches as they prevent the starter from turning.
