I gave a friend a junker side by side fridge and he gave me this old junker 89 Yamaha Moto 4. We love to tinker, and it has low range and reverse so I thot would make a tractor out of it. I farm; too old to jump and stuff! But it dont run (motors not seized though) So like some people who curl up with a good book thought I would curl up with a good tinker LOL. I am Mario James, hailing from a little rock south of the Florida panhandle called JAMAICA.

Welcome Mario, you probably have a 350cc if its 4x4 and a 250cc if its 2x4 ... most of the time the older ones wont spark, usually a stator will fix you right up ...

if you can get the vin #, you can online search it ... number is on the handle bar neck, and stamped in the frame at the gear shift on the frame ... should be 17 digits

Thanks for the warm welcome, oxidized_black! Ive looked at the stickies and I dont see an manual for my quad. I dont know if any one on this forum might point me in the direction of a service manual for a 1989 Yamaha Moto4 250 cc ATV? Because I intend to farm, I wonder if a simple head - sleeve piston change might bump up the displacement to 300cc, or even 350? (YFM motor) Also could anybody tell me if anyone has done a brake conversion to hydaulics at both ends...instead of the cable? (cables dont last long in dirt an mud) Also wanna put the clutch under my left hand where it belongs, and do away with the centrifugal setup. Thanks and cheers to everyone!

Hi everyone,

bought a kazuma 50 quad and there dont seem to be much about this one on the net so was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. i would like to know what engine it is for a start for parts etc. from what i have found i think its a yamaha replica engine, 2 stroke and the guy i bought it off said he had it for about 7 years so its fairly old. its used in mopeds aswell. i would like to change head and piston at some point so really need to know what engine i have. any help much appreciated.

sorry for diving straight in :laugh:

So cheers for that prices are pretty decant on the second link not sure bout the first one:shocked: eBay's been pretty good

okay this is my engine- 2-Stroke 50cc 1PE40QMB, and here is a pic for a reference.

heres a link for parts, 2-stroke 50cc 1PE40QMB Minarelli Jog motor parts

runs sweet now after some fiddling, just a real mare to start, i have a new electric choke ordered that hopefully will sort the cold start out.

i have a question: is it possible that the flywheel that the starter motor spins is not as free as it should be?

it looks pretty dry in there and seems that the starter just aint got the grunt for it, took the plug out and it spins fine, so after spraying some wd40 in the hole where the starter motor goes and then doing it again did help but still not right.

appreciate any help, thanks

Hi, my name is Eric and I'm from Minnesota. I figured this would be a cool place to chat about ATV stuff. I currently have an old Polaris Sportsman 400, totally rebuilt and in almost new condition. This old 2 stroke has a special place in my heart and I just cannot part with it although I'd like a Honda!

      Greetings to all.  New to the forum, but not to ATVing.  I started when they only had 3 wheels!  Getting back into riding.  Polaris 850.  Too many bells and whistles, but what do you do.  Scouting out places to ride legally now.

      Background,
      This winter (Dec.) I was plowing and everything just died, just quit.  No lights, no pull start, No nothing.  I've had this problem before and I changed the voltage reg and it ran fine for over a year. Then this.  So I changed it again, thinking this was the same problem.  Tried to start it and a small pin hole in the CDI appeared with electrical smoke.  
      Months go by and I finally decide to just replace parts (I'm Horrible at electrical issues).  I changed the stator, new CDI, new Voltage reg, new starter solenoid, tested the starter (prefect), charged the battery.  
      Went to start it and the solenoid rapidly clicked.  All the dash lights on, headlights work.  Pull stared it and it fired right up no issues.  Looked into the rapidly clicking starter solenoid and it was not enough juice in the battery.  Took the battery completely out and hooked up a jump box to it turned the key, light on, everything looks good.  Pushed the starter button and it fired right up ran great.  Turned it off to test it again, Turned the key and nothing.  No dash lights nothing.  Took the jump box off and pulled started it.  Started it right up.  Re-hooked the jump box, still nothing.
      Any Ideas?

      Hi all! I'm a new member from northern Saskatchewan. I plan on buying a new ATV and do some exploring in the Precambrian Shield/Boreal Forest this coming Spring.
      I hope to learn as much as I can on here before I make a purchase.
      Thanks.
