Hi all. New to the forum & quads. Seems like a great place full of info.
I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700. I need a battery. I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types. I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire. RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140. Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS. How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?

The battery on my Big Bear drops completely down in the battery compartment nothing sticks up to grip too, plus there is only 1/8" clearance along the sides, no way to get a grip on it to pull up out of battery compartment. I thought about putting a piece nylon strap under the battery and leaving enough up each side to give me something to pull it up out ff the battery compartment or using a big zip tie around the battery.
Any others have any ideas or have had this issue.

I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto-4 350 4X4 to use for hunting. I say 1987, but not positive. The owner is not positive about the model year, but he said 1987 sounds about right. He also gave me his son's Clymer manual that covers 1987-1999. The frame has rusted just enough that the full serial number is no longer readable. I can read some numbers/letters, but it is spotty. Anyone know how to determine model and year if you cannot read the serial number? I have included photos.
So it started fine when I got it home, but it would only stay running if the choke was open even when warmed up. No identification numbers are stamped on my Mikuni carb to determine specific model. The choke is controlled by cable connection on dash, so it is not a model that has the choke lever right on side of carb. Since it would only start and run with choke open, I decided to rebuild the carb using the OEM rebuild kit. Took it apart, cleaned jets, orifices, replaced o-rings, gaskets, etc. After reinstalling the carb, the engine will still only run with choke open, but now the engine sounds like it wants to shut off and there is a consistent low volume backfire from the muffler. If I rev the engine, it sounds better, but still continues backfiring.
The fuel screw was seated at 2.5 full turns before I cleaned it so I put it back at that setting.
I’ve looked high and low trying to find a video of someone rebuilding my specific carb, but it appears there are many variations. Appreciate any guidance to get it back to running like it should. I have included photos.
Any guidance on figuring out model year would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.

Hey guys! I am new here to the forum and need some help getting my Polaris 325 Magnum 2001 Running.....So I got it for free and it has never run quite right...I put a aftermarket carb on it last year and it was running fine but it only went like 20 maybe 25mph max......But then the needle and seat sealed leaked within a yeah and it flooded it REALLY bad so I changed the oil because it was full of gas. So then I put a genuine Polaris carb on it and I have it set to all the factory specs, but it was still not running right....So I replaced the ignition coil and the spark plug and that solved one of the problems I had (It would bog down and stop running when i would go up a hill) But it still didn't have that much "Punch" to it like my Kawasaki Prairie 300 ans Suzuki Kingkuad 300.....So I replaced the CDI but it's still not running right! It's acting like it rich kinda....So it runs mostly okayish when I have the airfilter on but the top of the airbox off but as soon as I put the airbox lid on it like REALLY bogs down and wants to stall really bad. I have the carb at the factory specs and it has a pretty new fuel pump so I have no ideas whats going wrong! It still nly has a top speed of only about 30-35mph and it sounds like it's choking the whole time! Thank you for sticking to the end, and I hope you guys can help me!
