Wonder if anyone can help me out. My buddy had an 07 Sportsman 500 EFI that is missing really bad. It's so bad that it almost throws you over the handle bars when you try to ride it. We all got gas from the same place so thats out and we pulled out the spark plug and it was really clean. The only changes that have been made are a radiator relocation kit and shorkel kit. We thought maybe it was getting to much air but we covered the shorkel intake and still the same thing. Any ideas?? Thanks

Did the problem start immediately after installing the snorkel kit? If so, it probably has something to do with the problem. I would either get an aftermarket fuel controller or take it to a dealer shop and have them adjust the ECU to compensate for the difference in airflow. Fuel injected quads can be very tempermental, I know that one first hand. One of the best things I have done is add a fuel controller. Now when I make changes, I can compensate for them by pushing a couple of buttons. Also, you may not want to rule out he possibility of his gas being contaminated, there could have been some crap in there before hand. Also, check the fuel filter, it could be getting plugged up.

      I am new to this site. I have a 1987 Suzuki LT230S Quadsport I think. Is there a difference between quadsport and quadrunner?

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      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!

      i just picked this up. was told ran fine but overheating issues led to replacing head gasket and head. has not ran since. he is not a mechanic but helped someone else who he could not get back to finish job, got aggravated and put up for sale. i was thinking timing issues. i have 110-120psi on all 3 cylinders so i think valves are correct. dont know about distributor yet. however i have no spark. i have no power going to ignition coil. tried to follow white wire but gets lost in wire harness. does anyone have a wiring diagram? can anyone tell me what conditions have to be met before starting. motor turns over so i would think all safeties are met but you never know.
