I have a Yamaha 350 in at once to try to fire up but won't. It's getting gas fire air and it has a lot of compression but still struggles to start check the timing it's top dead center valves are good valves are adjusted everything's working but won't fire I put my hand over the carb suck in gas and it tries to but it makes a lot of black smoke. Also when I put my hand over do you carb and tried to start it there's black black nasty stuff in the gas. So I don't know if it's trying to burn too much or what it is the gas tank clean and it anything to do with the gas it's with it firing. Took the spark plug out and it's pure black. What is dried up black not nasty corroded wet looking. Need help to solve the issue

Welcome to Quadcrazy @Chase Cook  It sounds like a typical carburetor cleaning. Have you taken the carburetor off of the machine and broken it down to clean it ? 

Also have you looked into gas tank to make sure it’s clean and no rust and junk inside and the fuel valve is free flowing ? 

That would be my first move. Throw a fresh spark plug in as well and my guess is it will run fine.

Yea start simple, smell gas in tank so make sure it's not diesel or have water in it.  Clean carb, black crap in gas sounds like gaskets in carb going bad or some other source of dry rotted rubber.

I'd replace gas lines and fuel filter, clean tank and carb with some carb cleaner, check carb gaskets, throw it back together with some fresh gas and fire it up!

      2001 Yamaha Bear Tracker Circuit Relay Issue
      By fwsamm
      Im aware that this relay needs a positive (+) and a negative (-) to activate the other side. The blue wire is the neutral wire so when in neutral it gets ground. The green wire is from the parking break; when you pull the break in it gets ground (-). however one of those two needs to be neutral so that the positive from kill switch can go to the starter relay. The ground from the starter relay is from the start switch. Which one (neutral or parking break) should have a positive (+) voltage?

      Need help! 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350
      By P_syko
      I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350. It has good compression and fuel, but no spark. I’ve looked high and low trying to find how to test all the components of the ignition system, but can’t find anything. This has a new CDI box on it, but I suspect it might be the stator. How do I test the stator on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      1995 Kawasaki bayou 220 won't start
      By kaidella
      Bought 4 wheeler for kids. Used to run and soon as it was put in gear it died. I have put new carburater, new plug and battery. The neutral light won't come on. I replaced the solenoid, then the positive battery cable and today put new relay assembly on. Still no neutral light. Not getting any juice and I don't know why.

      Moto 4 350 low oil
      By P_syko
      Does the 1987 moto 4 350 have a low oil sensor that kills spark? Or are these too old for that kind of thing?
