Its an 98 250 Yamaha 2 stroke, and although it didn't have a lot of hours it may not make sense to rebuild it.

those alarms - when key is turned to the "on" position,the alarm should sound - if not,check it out and find out why....

few things can make the remote tank pump inoperative - pump itself,trim indicator,float switch,wiring - or a clogged filter


odds are,crank is good - you're gonna need a powerhead overhaul/replacement

getting the powerhead off can be a little difficult - but,having pulled probably 20/25 v6 powerheads over the years -shift rod replacement,you develop a few tricks...
