1989 Yamaha Big Bear 350 CDI Question


Jed

Recommended Posts

I recently acquired a non-running 1989 Big Bear. PO told me it would need a carburetor. I tinkered with the fuel system enough to get it running and drove it around enough to ensure the drive train was working (probably 1.5 - 2 miles).  A few minutes later I attempted to start it to move it back into the garage and it wouldn't fire. Checked for spark at the plug (wire held close to block) and no spark. After getting it back into the garage and checking a few things I concluded it was likely a bad CDI box. I went on line found an aftermarket box that was advertised as compatible with an 89 Big Bear. When I installed the new box, the quad still would not run but each time I hit the started button I would get a single spark (turn key off and back on . . . hit the starter button . . . another single spark).  When I got the new box I did note it was not identical to the old one(had an extra wire in one of the connectors). The part number on the box says it's a 1YW-85540-20-00. The box I took off the quad is marked 3HN-00. Which I understand after looking at a parts diagram likely means this is a 3HN-85540-00-00 CDI box.

reinstalled the old box and confirmed the quad has no spark with that box.

My question now is whether this new box will work on this quad, given the apparent part number discrepancy, or do I just have another issue somewhere in the ignition system?

Any insight would be much appreciated.

      Hi, I am having issues with my TRX350D fuel pump.  It suddenly stopped running so I have replaced all the fuses and cleaned all the terminals.  I have fitted a new pump, fuel cut-off relay and rectifier.  Still nothing!!  The pump runs when attached to a battery.  The engine will start on the choke and the filter fills with fuel but it will  not rev and dies when the choke is closed. I have power to the relay but nothing at the pump black/white wire when cranking the engine.  Any ideas where to go from here would be very much appreciated!!

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      I WANTED TO UPGRADE THE CARBURATOR ON MY 1992 BIG BEAR 350, SO I ORDERED A NEW CARB FROM EBAY.  ACCORDING TO THE WRITE-UP IT WAS A GOOD FIT FOR BIG BEARS FROM 1988 TO 1996.  WHEN I REMOVED MY ORIGINAL CARB I NOTICED THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW CARB MY CARB HAD TWO THROTTLE  CABLES THE NEW CARB ONLY HAD ONE CABLE.  HOW CAN I MAKE THIS CARB WORK ON MY TWO CABLE THROTTLE?

      2022 Sector 550, 414 miles on it and the gas gauge reads empty.  I topped off the gas and it didn't change.
      There is no fuse that I could find.  No access at the gauge cluster.
      Wiring on the top of the tank looks good, properly connected.
      Could the sending unit in the tank be stuck or broken?
      Has anybody removed the tank lid?  Any tricks?  
      Any other ideas?
      Thanks for any help,
      Clyde

      I Ran across this video today comparing an aftermarket to OEM Carb on Suzuki Vinson, thought it might generate some interest, it is quite long but informative.
