My warrior was supposably "redone" when we bought it......carb and such.....yeah he redid it alright....and screwed it all up tryin to play mechanic. My pilot jet is broken, and i need a new carb eventually here.

He also forgot to mention he had an allergy to grease....the swingarm was crack ed in half, and the thing was rusting from the inside out. We bought it ...it was dark when we were lookin it over, but we knew we were gonna put money into it ne way, just didnt realize how much stuff we needed to fix. But now its like brand new.....

Really take a good look at everything, make sure it has been takin care of, greased, and see how it runs. Check for cracks in the frame and the swingarm. I learned a huge lesson on my buy, so ill be a lil more observant next time. And when u get it home if you buy it, the first thing u should do is regrease everything especially the swingarm bolt. ( we had to cut mine off and buy a new one) lol!!! Good luck i hope its a good buy for ya :yes:

Test ride it. Shift up and down through each gear. Look for any wet looking oil on the side of the case where gaskets are. You said they just rebuilt it, so there will probably be dried/burnt oil on the case. Check for oil at the end of the exhaust pipe, this is a sign of blow by. Check the frame for cracks or rusty spot. Look at the welds on the a-arm mounts, check the swing arm for cracks and rust. Pay close attention to the frame near the foot pegs. If they jumped alot, good chance they weakened the structural integrity of the frame.

Anything I missed?

i know what u mean, and plus i might sell it to my neighbor:yes:

one thing i have learned is to not do business with family friends or relatives.. the reason i say this is if u sell it for lets say 800-900 and something really big goes wrong with it and costs them a lot more to fix and they might get into a big fuss with u that u ripped them off.. now im not saying this will happen but i have experienced this with my can-am and i could buy 2 of them with wat i spent on shop bills (thats its own story).... im just giving my opinion but this is your atv and i have no say in wat u do in ur personal matters but i dont want u to go through wat i have been... well anyway congrats on the new atv hope u enjoy it take a lo of pics.

      Help with 1987 Yamaha Big Bear YFM350FWT Carb
      By ResQ91
      Hi Guys!

      New member and could really use your advice. I would have to believe this has been an issue for others but a search here came up with nothing......? (Probably me not doing search correctly)
       
      I have an 87 Big Bear 350 YFM350FWT
      The OEM Mikuni BTM carb is shot and would rather replace than rebuild.
      It is no longer made and I have had good luck with NICHE carbs so I ordered a #K-CRB-0006 This was what they said was replacement when ordered. This Carb only uses 1 Throttle cable. The Slide is linked so it uses one. (OEM had 2nd cable coming through top to move slide)
       
      Problem is when I ordered a replacement Cable from NICHE (#C-CBL-0061) the Cable wire is a little short, not allowing Throttle to return all the way down to Idle position. I called NICHE and they are at a loss. Haven't gotten back to me after 2+ weeks.
       
      What would you recommend other than a carb rebuild?
      Can I just use 1 of the OEM cables (It is the right length) and snip/disconnect the other that went to top of Carb for Slide?
      Or ??
       
      Thanks in advance for any advice you have!!

      Looking to buy a new SUV
      By Gwbarm
      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!

      1990 Suzuki King Quad 300cc Kicks and bucks when accelerating unless ignition switch is in LIGHT position.
      By Tuzz
      Bucking started about a month ago and works ok after 1/2 hour warmup.  Today while working on it i discovered that if i put the ignition switch in LIGHT position it runs fine right from the start.
      I'm stumped!  Any idea why this could be?
