Okay so here's the deal I really need some help I got the quad from my buddy he had the head redone because of smoke it was either two things rings or valves so all that looks good I got the exhaust valve and intake valve to spec with the rocker arms then I had made sure cam was in TDC it lined up in spec then I was trying to start it up for the first day it started but ran like s*** then I had the next day recharge the battery and tried to start it again still run like s*** but I was just curious if it ran so I was thinking it was taking too long to start up so I clean carburetor today and retried to start it up and the only electrical part that was disconnected was the ground to the reverse gear controller so that I could take off the throttle then I pulled the spark plug out to check to see if I had spark the last 2 days I had spark cuz I pulled the spark plug out and seen it but today when I went to clean the carburetor out I accidentally left the battery on on all night and now I have no spark at all I pulled off the spark plug boot the screw thang and put my hand on the spark plug wire as I turned it over with the starter by the way the starter runs great now but zero electricity I'm just wondering how do I test my coil what is the resistance/ohm's it needs to be inspect I can't find it nowhere and how do I eliminate the fact if it's the stator somebody says something about a CDI and I seen a form saying if I unplug the voltage regulator your spark plug might spark again but I clean most of the connections I still have no spark

If you download a workshop manual it will have all those details you are asking about..  There's probably a manual on this site. Up the top of the page where it says "downloads", repair manuals.

I went to find my make and model I found a warrior 350"same motor" and 2004 Yamaha raptor 350 "service manual not there"

Okay I read some more it says I can't download until 10 post wth is that pos

The policy is probably to keep people here..haha

There are other places we can download workshop manuals..  Google for "workshop manual", and your model and year.

I've tried that maybe I don't know what I'm doing 😅 but I bought a new pick up and stator also a new coil I'm going to change them individually and let you when I get it

Usually it's a bad pickup coil on Yamaha's that I've worked on, seen it more than once. 

I'm interested if that's your issue as well.

So update I've changed the stator and pickup coil today still not the problem high key upset but I'm waiting on my coil (comes tomorrow in the mail) which I've read is rarely the problem but easy change out if it's not the coil I'm going to disassemble my light/kill switch tomorrow I really scratching my head on why is it the fact that I had spark 1 day and the next when leaving battery on and cleaning the carburetor is that I have no spark 😤😒

So from my understanding what makes the spark

Coil =unknown

Stator/pick up coil =good

Cdi/ECU =unknown

Sparkplug =good 

Battery/ I think it's good but it has 12.8 and I have charger soo =maybe good

Regulator rectifier =unknown

Wiring harness/connectors =good I don't see them cut in them or not messed up. =Maybe good

Ground more than likely dirty =good?

Kill switch =unknown

Update I tested the ignition coil I got very werid ohms and I tested the orange wire and I believe I had gotten 24v or something like that going to the orange wire right before ignition coil as you know the plug its self was getting nothing no spark even when taking boot of I've read if you unplug the voltage regulator than if you get 1 spark out of the ignition coil than is 9 times out of 10 the stator and pickup coil so I had a feeling that it was the CDI/ECU I bought a cheap one off of Amazon and it ran me like $30-40 but and my gut feeling was right I really could not find ways to test the CDI but looking at schematic diagram it showed that it takes stator voltage runs it to CDI turns around and takes that voltage and runs it to the  regulator and the regulator runs it right back to CDI and builds up voltage in a coil "ignition coil" and has a signal wire which is the black wire on the ignition coil and tells it when to spark "timing"

So in my conclusion if you have no spark 

1 Check wires and ground if bad clean connections/ if good go to 2

2 Check sparkplug if bad clean or buy new spark plug / if good go to 3

3 Unplug voltage regulator and turn the stator on and turn over engine 1 spark go to 4 /no spark go to 5

4 check resistance on stator "circular copper windings looks kinda like alternator" and pickup coil "small magnetic box next to stator" both on the left side of the engine in side engine cover/ if good go to 5 

5 Replace CDI

CDI was in fact the problem

      1990 kawasaki bayou 300c idles fine but pops out exhaust and intake when trying to excel, will not take throttle past 1/4 , any one had this problem?
      have replaced carb twice, same thing, fresh built engine cylinder head, same as before, new spark plug, flywheel key is good, pulser test good, good spark

      Guys, I've got a 1999 Honda Foreman 450S.  It runs great, but smokes out the exhaust after startup until it warms up.  I'm thinking the valve seals are leaking.  I was wondering if there is a way to replace them without removing the head or if there's an oil additive that will recondition the rubber seals.  Any advice?

      I recently got my hands on a free 2004 Recon that the owner had zero information on the machine or the history. Long story short, a little troubleshooting and research revealed i needed to replace the timing chain for it to stay running. when i opened the case, it the chain was so horribly stretched, that the tensioner pivot arm had play between it and the chain! I also found the oil pump chain totally disconnected from the sprocket due to being completely worn out. I tore the whole engine down and rebuilt it from the bottom up finding little things here and there that needed to be replaced. Upon inspecting the top end, i didn't find any bad/excessive play in the crank, rod bearings or wrist pin. Now the machine runs great, but even after 2x adjusting the valves, the chatter is way more than you'd expect from a honda normally. My neighbor is an auto mechanic by trade, and i asked him to take a listen. the look on his face when i started it and it was chattering like that was priceless! He mentioned that maybe the valves themselves might be wore out or stretched. my question here: what all can cause the excessive rattle up in the valve cover aside from valves being out of spec? Everything else seemed to be in decent condition as far as rockers and guides go. I am fairly new to small engine/ATV repairs, but am learning as a hobby and have a fair amount of knowledge with how to do some wrenching. Thanks!

      I've been tryna find a replacement intake manifold for my 85 LT250EF because it's all hardened up but i can't seem to find one. Are there any other manifolds that would fit this model. Or how should i soften this manifold. I saw that wintergreen oil would help to soften it up but i wouldn't know how long it would last. Any other tips on how to get a tight seal around the engine intake would be appreciated.

      quad is a new to me freebie, pulled carb and cleaned it. got it running and idling nice but mid throttle it craps out and will go down to almost a stall, i release throttle and it just sits there idling away happy as a pig in poop. i was thinking fuel restriction then i noticed the exhaust glowing red in the sunlight. so its running lean
