1998 Arctic Cat Bearcat 454 Changing carburetor!


Recommended Posts

I have just recently purchased a 1998 artic cat bearcat 454 2x4!

It had been sitting up for about 2 years and needed some major work!

I replaced the cdi unit and regulator and freed up the brakes! Now I was breaking

down the carb, cleaning the jets and all and noticed that one of the ears

that hold the float in place has been broken off!! I opoxyed it back on, and everthing

seems to be fine now! But as I was looking for carbs I can't find an aftermarket carb

anywhere! A brand new one is from 400 to 500 bucks and I can't find a used one!

Does anyone know a different brand or an aftermarket carb I can use on

my 98 bearcat 454?? Thanx alot!!

      Have had the carb apart twice now and can"t find any obvious problems. but if I leave the fuel on it floods the float bowl and leaks out the overflow. What should I be checking?

      I just acquired a 1994 Timberwolf 250 2wd. Drove fine at seller’s property. Got home, I started it, put it first gear, shifted to reverse, backed out of trailer, moved reverse shifter back forward, then nothing. Throttle revs but doesn’t go anywhere. The shift lever doesn’t really feel like it’s going through gears. I can roll it manually forever so I’m pretty sure it’s in neutral, but no neutral light. Then I decided to try reverse again, and, it goes into reverse. And drives in reverse. But as soon as I take it out of reverse, it rolls freely again. I can’t get it into any forward gear. The seller has owned it for 20 years (60 year old man). He didn’t have a manual so I’ve ordered a Clymer (I’m old school paper in my hand reader). Outward appearance is very good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

      I have a 99 Yamaha bear tracker and I have converted the front brakes from drum to disc fairly easy but I cant figure out how to convert the rear with out hacking apart the rear arm. tried to use parts from a wolverine since the rear arms look similar but the caliper mount didn't line up on the bear tracker axle. Can anyone give me any clues or has anyone successfully converted the bear tracker rear brakes. I would even purchase a conversion kit if there is one. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi guys!
      I recently acquired a 2004 Sportsman 600 4x4.  It originally ran great but now It runs very rough and only with choke on.  It dies when you hit the throttle. I will be removing the carb for a good cleaning.  At this point I'm thinking it's a fuel issue.  I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter today as they are cheap.  When I get the carb back we will see how it goes.  If it still runs bad I might try bypassing the fuel pump and running direct from tank to carb.  Any ideas as to what I should be trying would be greatly appreciated.
      Also, the carb has two nipples in the front in the front on each side.  The left side has a vent hose on it but the right side is capped off.  Shouldn't this one be venting as well?  See pic.  
      I did pick up a new aftermarket carb to have just in case.  There is a hose fitting on the right rear that my OEM carb doesn't have.  What would this be for?  I would think just keep that on capped? (See pic)
      Thanksnin advance.
