98 yamaha grizzly 600 problems?????


Recommended Posts

while riding a few days ago, my quad did great through the mud, but while driving it back home, running about 35mph, it seemed like i lost all power and the quad just died. i put it in neutral and started it back up, drove another half mile and it did it again, i had to have my buddy pull me the rest of the way home. the quad turns over but is acting like its not getting any fuel or maybe some spark plug problem? im not for sure why its doin this, i was thinking it got a lil too wet?, maybe water in places that it shouldnt have any? hope to hear something back, thanks

ive checked the spark plug, and its getting spark.

ive pulled the airbox off and there was no water in it.

i have no clue.

Try taking out the plug and using a hose with a funnel to add like a tablespoon of gas to the cylinder then quickly put the plug back in and see if it fires up. I had an issue with the float and needle not allowing fuel to flow properly in mine ethanol eats away at the materials and any small amount of dirt can cause a sticky needle may need a cleaning or rebuild . Just a thought

well the problem is in the carb somewhere. the quad is getting too much fuel. but the jets that are in the carb are stock. so im planning on buying a carb rebuild kit and see how that goes, i guess if that doesnt work, then the next step is buying a new carb. anyone got any good sites for buying atv parts? thanks!

Hey what I did was take a product call Sea Foam and took off the air filter through 2 cap fulls in the air intake hose held my hand over it in till it choked itself out let it sit for a 5 to 10 min then started it back up and has never run better this stuff is great I use it in all my fuel cans and wheelers it cleans out the gunk hope this helps also almost sounds like you had a fuel vacuum issue check you fuel cap and make sure the tank is breathing right and not causing a vacuum where it would choke itself out Good Luck Greg

      Have a 1998 AC 300 2x4, Just installed a new carburetor. Engine starts easy but the choke RPMs are very hi and take along time (5-10 mins when cold out). After engine has warmed up choke releases and it idles and runs fine., It does no have an electric choke. The choke lever is never used and it seems like an auto choke? Long story short, how can I lower the choke rpm levels?
       
      Also, carb came with a spare145 jet, not 100% sure what is installed. Could this impact choke RPMs?
       
       
      Any help and information greatly appreciated.

      Hi, I have been around everything with a motor since I was little, and finally purchased more to get my husband, and kids involved. I have 4 quads I will be searching around for information on. I have two 2002 Suzuki LT80K quads, a 1997 Yamaha Timberwolf 250, and a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 220. I have had different ones throughout the years, and plan on buying another Yamaha Banshee. I plan on trying to learn more about all of them, so I can customize some of them. I know nothing about them besides how to race them, my dad always took care of the rest, but figured it was time for me to learn.

      If you had to choose one mod that you couldn't live without, or had to recommend one what would it be?

      Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.
