hello everyone, I have a rickter with a 760 that recently stripped the midshaft & driveshaft splines. after getting the new parts, I threw the motor in and realized that it was super misaligned. (firstly, I know this is wrong, but I only have 3 weeks until I move for college so I just wanted to ride) in the front, I had 2 fat washers and 3 shims lifting the motor up and 1 washer and 2 shims in the rear lifting the motor up. first ride everything came loose, crazy right!? the motor is heavily modded, the ski is full carbon, and its sitting on rhaas SJ height motor mounts. what went wrong? is the hull or mounts warped? what are my options?
I also broke my dads ski, a kawi sxr1100. the ski is mostly stock and was riding perfect the entire year until I went to take it for a ride. cranked and started fine on the lift then once I got into the water nothing happened when I hit the button. no, it is not anything to do with being in the water because I took the ski out of the water and still nothing. I did a yami start/stop switch replacement last year but put the wires into another SS switch and also nothing. I used a probe to see where power is and throughout the ebox it was reading about -0.70 volts. the positive wire to the SS switch was reading -0.35 volts and I couldnt find a voltage for 1/3 of the spark plugs (from inside the boot) but maybe I just couldnt get it in there enough. I couldnt find a voltage for the CDI but it was giving power to the lines connected to it. I know close to nothing about electrical but probably guessing the problem is by the starter, but any help is appreciated.
I can post pictures if it would help. thank you all and please let me ride one more time before college!

! You’ll be looking for 12+ Volts on the brown wire (going from your Yamaha stop start switch) that’s connected to your starter solenoid when the start button is pressed w/the lanyard in. You will have a side of the solenoid that should have a constant 12+v DC on it and a side that will have nothing on it (until start buttton is pressed). If you have 12v on that brown wire and a good ground (black wire on solenoid next to brown) but no crank and no 12v on the side that’s NOT constant you have a bad solenoid (most likely the case).
