I have just recently gotten a yamaha big bear 350 atv and I think the carburetor is a little off on its setting,bc it cuts out at full throttle and it makes a weird pluff kinda sound 3-4 seconds after I hit the kill switch to shut the atv off. I don't know why it's doing that so any help will be greatly appreciated.

The "whoomph" noise is the carb backfiring and trying to set fire to your air-filter. Check there's a flame proof mesh between the carb and air-filter.

The reason the carb backfires like that is because the mixture is too lean. I'd suggest trying adjusting the idle mixture and speed to cure that, but the high speed symptom sounds like the whole carb is running lean. You could check the carb is getting plenty of fuel right to it's fuel bowl by undoing the drain screw on the bottom of the carb and making sure fuel keeps running out even after the bowl has drained. Then check the carb breathers are clean and not crimped off or anything. Then, if it's getting plenty of fuel to the bowl but not revving right out, probably best to take the carb off and strip it entirely, clean and adjust it, and that should cure the problems.

      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?

      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!

      Need some help putting a new ignition switch on this thing. I'm not finding homes for all the wires. I can hook up the white wire and brown wire, But the switch has a B/W and Solid Yellow wire i can't find a home for, and there aren't any more wires in the vicinity from the harness that match this, except one red wire with a double female end crimped on, and a few B/Y grounds. None of the wiring diagrams i've founder or have been given match.
      I'm also wondering if i have the wrong switch? some switches appear to have 4 wires and other just 2, the Brown wire and a White wire.
      I'm at a loss here. Thanks.
