I have a 250 timberwolf 2wd that I have beat to death on the farm. It has been great until now. Carb trouble. I cleaned the carb and set it but it will not idle and it takes forever for it to hit and start running.It has always fired right off. stumped. I also have a big bear 400 that I worked off in trade. They say it died on them and they supposedly took it to a guy that says the oil pump quit and the motor is trashed. It had brand new tires on it and I think he thought he could snow them out of the machine. Machine has never left the farm and never been ridden by anyone under 50 I don't think. Any ideas?

I raced 350X and 250R for years successfully and my 250 big red has still never failed me. These Yamaha 4 strokes are a bit of a mystery to me still.

Hello All. I just joined yesterday. Great site!

I have been riding for much of my life, but never before had a three wheeler. I found this one in an old barn. Some old guy owned it and when he passed his son was tasked with getting rid of some things so I picked it up for $100.00. Didnt know if it even ran, but the engine turned over with a pull so I took a chance. After emptying and cleaning the gas tank and changing the oil, it actually started after several pulls! I am now in the process of repairing or replacing old frozen up parts like the brakes and several cables. So far it runs good and Ive driven it through all the gears with no problems. Seems like a good buy so far.

Ok, enough about the ATC, this is supposed to be about me. :cute: Im a relatively old man and Ive been working on engines, cars, bikes, etc. pretty much since I was able to pick up a wrench. I really enjoy diagnosing and solving mechanical issues. Presently I work in an engine assembly plant in Dundee, Michigan. I am a supplier quality resident engineer there. Ive been married for 34 years and have 3 sons, who are all grown and moved away. Ok, how am I doing so far? :biggrin:

I am looking forward to communicating with other riders on this forum.

Hello all.

I'm new to quad ownership and am 53 years old. I'm pretty much a tinkerer of many things mechanical. My background is; I was raised in a Christian home and am a practicing Christian myself. I've been married to the same woman or almost 30 years and raised 3 children. We now are foster parents with a big house and plenty of love to give to kids. I'm an electrician by trade and a pretty good one if I can say. Also a decent mechanic.

I bought my first quad a couple of months ago from my nephew.

Model year 2000 Polaris 500 Sportsman RSE.

It didn't run good for him and he didn't want to mess with it. He knowing that uncle Joe was the mechanic of the family could probably do more with it than anyone else so he gave me a decent price. Since I've brought it home I've fixed several small things but now I'm into fixing why it just won't run great. I want it to run great like I've always heard these machines can do.

I won't lie. I joined this group just so I could reap the benefits of shared knowledge. Your knowledge. In the process I promise to give any that I may have also.

I downloaded a service manual, joined this group and another forum, and have been talking to other owners here at work.

I'll ask my questions in the forum where applicable.

Thanks for your website and group.

Newbie here. Just picked up a ‘98 Kawasaki Bayou 220.  Needs a little work so I’m searching the forums for tips and tricks.

Welcome @Bill Moore, bayou 220s are tough ATVs and can keep up in the trails with the best of them. Had some friends that all had them at one time, great ATVs for the price.

      Hello folks, my machine wound up with I think water in the tank etc. It runs but speeds up and slows back down randomly. When not running I don't see gas dripping  from the drain nipple on bottom of float bowl and drain screw is closed tight. With normal idle speed I see no leaking. When the idle speed increases quite a bit on it's own, gas appears to start slowly dripping from float bowl drain nipple? I'm wondering if the carb is flooding and the gas is actually coming from higher up and just appears, to be coming out of nipple but, is actually running down the sides of the nipple? I put a kit in the factory Mikuni carb last year after sitting for a while and I think the gas in the jug I used had drawn moisture. I plan to pull the carb tomorrow and clean everything out. I was just curious if anyone else thinks it's probably something in the carb and is, acutally a flooding problem? Thanks Folks! 🙂

      South Florida.

      How much it worth?

      Pros: looking decent.

      Cons
      No brakes.
      Front wheel bearings are shot.
      Idles, but sometimes will shot off. Most likely when cold.
      Gas smell and little bit steam in the air filter box when I started it.
      Display screen won't work.
      Tires are dry with cracks.


      Not sure if has title, I will check and update.

      How much do you think it worth?

      My new 2023 Polaris Sportsman 850 is in the shop for a pinched Wiring Harness from the factory... 
      I did one ride on it (100kms), then to the shop for a month, waiting for them to replace it with a new one.
