2002 Yamaha big bear 400 atv won’t run

[Marie Keene]

I’m working on my dads 2002 Yamaha big bear 400 atv. He was having a hard time starting it for a while and then it quit running for good. It had no spark so u replaced spark plug and then cdi box. Didn’t help so tested stator which a part of it wasn’t working so replaced it. Nothing. I unplugged the rectifier cranked it and had a great spark. Got it in today cranked it and still won’t run but does still have spark. What’s going on? Any help is greatly appreciated

Has it sat for a while? Have you done any carb work? Have you checked to see if you are getting fuel?  Check the fuel petcock (sounds silly) to make sure it ON.

it should fire if you spray a little starter fluid or carb cleaner in the air filter..  just be careful how much you load it up cause it can blow your head if you're not careful

if it still doesnt fire, I would change the spark plug again and check valve clearance, compression, timing and oil level

It doesn’t have spark again. It has been sitting for 2 years I recently replaced the kill run cluster so I’ll check that next. Plus I’m going to clean the carb. Btw I am not able to find how to rewire the stator my now ex messed with the wires that go into the connector and he can’t remember how it went. The wires going to it is solid red red/white and 2 white/greens. The ones coming from the new Caltric stator are all solid and are red light blue medium blue and dark blue.
