1995 Yamaha Big Bear Rough Idle

[waynemags]

hey guys. new hear. i just got a 95 big bear that ran fine when i looked at it, but now when i startit, it idles real bad. it runs for a bit at a higher idle, then dies right down and then dies. fire it back up and turn the idle screw in and it idles high. will run fine for a bit then stutters and idles down almost dies then lights up again, then a second later, dies. ive cleaned the carb the best i can . blew out the passages and tried again. still does the same . the air screw was bottomed right down. i opened it to about 2 turns out. seemed to bring the idle back up, then stuters and back down till almost dead, then dies. any suggestions?

Welcome aboard! Did you take the carb out and clean it? Did you inspect the float and pin?

are you talking the pin that holds the float in?

[DirtDemon]

No, the pin/plunger that stops the fuel when the float rises.
