I am new to this site and am still learning to use it. Thanks to all who welcomed me, sorry i havent found out how to message back.

My raptor 350 sounds like crap. Sounds like its something in the bottom end. Checked the oil and it looks fine, no signs of metal. After having it rebuilt a couple of years ago i am wondering if its worth fixing. Anybody have any clues of about how much it would run to fix it if its in the bottom end? Low ballpark/high ballpark? I cant get it into a shop this week and somebody is interested in buying it for $800.

Was told the timming chain was getting badly worn and it would make noise, which it was. But it is gotten to be a loud clank, not really a tick or hard knock.

Thanks for any advise

I hope I make this very easy for you to make your decisson on what to do. I know we posted part it out. Just go to ebay and price what Raptor parts are selling for some of the parts may shock you for what you could sell them for. You may be able to get more than 800.00. I have a utility and some parts are over a 1000.00 Raptors are big sellers. depending on what it would cost it might be worth fixing either way I would have it checked out before selling it.

      need help on a yamaha raptor 80 stalling
      By Gtc4d
      I recently purchased a raptor 80 for my grandson for  christmas. I am trying to make sure it is running properly. i have rebuilt the carb and adjusted the carb idle then the mixture to middle of where it runs rough and it runs great for about a min or 2. then it stalls out. I can usually choke it and it will start so i feel it is lacking fuel. the fuel shutoff valve has been changed and i checked it for good fuel flow.  any ideas of what to check next. I am planning to vfy fuel float height tomorrow. I visually checked it by turning carb upside down when i had it apart and it looked level. any ideas are appreciated. 
       
      Thanks.

      Has anyone found aftermarket CDI for Big Bear 400?
      By Callaway
      I am trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 02 Big Bear 400 and I am really hoping it is not a CDI.  I have done the test on the stator and I believe that is faulty.  I ordered a new aftermarket one from a the jungle website and it tested bad right out of the box so I am waiting for a different one to arrive from an ATV parts supplier.  I started looking out of curiosity at CDI units and it seems if it is for a big bear you are SOL.  Kodiaks, no problem.  Big Bear. No such luck.
