97 Waveventure, my 1st ski & went in blind on restoring it. I currently have it wired up (temporarily) all wires seemed evident by color where they went except 2 green coming from the stator . I was told it didn’t matter which green was plugged into each green. The engine cranks, but not one light on the dash comes on. Any advise what to look into?

Well there is only one fuse, if it cranks and runs the fuse is good, more than likely your gauge cluster is dead , after all it's only 28 years old now.
Any way of testing?

Unless you know way more about electronics than most of us here no , try to find another gauge and install it.
I do not…so another gauge it’ll be then…

Electronics are like light bulbs , they work till one day when you flip the switch and it doesn't come on, I can't tell you why a MPEM , CDI or gauge or light bulb fails ,I know the basics about what capacitors, diodes, resistors , transistors and thyristors and potentiometers do, that's it though, all I can tell you is that it did.

Sometimes those Yamahas don't light up until the ski actually runs for a couple seconds.
Guess I’ll have to button it up & see…

I had assumed when you said the engine cranks that you had actually cranked the ski up , stupid mistake on my part I suppose.
Yeah I was just testing things for power. Was hoping everything worked before I closed the electric box up, but is what it is.
