https://crossroadscycle.net/shop/1992-1998-yamaha-timberwolf-front-shock-absorber/ Somehow I found new struts in Nova Scotia Canada. Called the guy up there and he said yep they were actually new. I would guess there new-old stock. Would have to be.

The relay likely clicks because the power to it is being intermittently disconnected. A bad relay shouldn't make the lights flicker, but a broken wire/bad connection will make the lights flicker and the relay click. Did you check the switches are making good contacts inside ?
-
Yes that would be my guess.
-
Thanks guys so when the lights flicker the starting cut off relay clicks as well checked all grounds cleaned them all up and still no starting but push button CDI was checked its good so could the cut off relay be bad ?
-
Gw's right.. check the earths as well.

I think 15 ft pds is all thats required for the oil pump bolts. -
Hmmm! You haave replaced most everything related i would have guessed the starter cutout relay except for the lights flickering , that kind of points to a bad ground, time to start checking wiring connections.

Mech replied to Its-always-something's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
Good stuff.. and is the fancy screwdriver nicely made ? Worked good did it ? I've been thinking of getting one for a while.. but wanted to make sure they were good quality first.. haha. -
This might be the right diagram.. Check it carefully.. Check the cdi and start button are wired like that diagram, if they aren't then you need a different diagram. 1997-Bigbear-350.pdf

You need to be sure the key switch you fitted is the right sort for that model. There are two different switches. You need to get a manual with a wiring diagram. Then you need to start tracing the power to the ignition switch, through the switch, and then through either the kill switch or the cdi unit, depending on what wiring that's using. Some models the start signal to the start solenoid goes through the cdi unit before going to the start button, and in other models the power goes to the start button then to the solenoid. And there are the start cut-out relays as well. The bike needs to be in neutral or have it's brake light on for the starter to work..

I think I found a rear shock that matches. The front struts were completely discontinued, no one is making them.

There are many aftermarket ones on Amazon, just find the right size they should work fine, never had a problem with aftermarket shocks.

Gwbarm replied to Its-always-something's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
If it’s blowing black that usually a sign of running rich , if the smoke has a bluish tinge to it it’s oil burning -
I’ve sort of done that for the struts by looking them up on parts diagrams not the actual stamped part number on the strut. All I can find are used on eBay not sure they’d be much better than mine. I will do that. Thanks for the advice

Mech replied to Its-always-something's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
What ever it is, it's always best to try adjusting the mixture first because that is (even the hard to get at adjusters), the easiest thing to try. It checks the mixture screw is changing the mixture enough too, which is a good thing to check. If winding the screw a full turn each way didn't have a dramatic effect, then it would be a guide/helpful in the diagnosis. -
Idle adjusts down easily, it was low when first installed so raised it. Once it settles down from the cold start high idle it runs fine. But I will say when I hit the throttle, it does blow some black making me think lean. I ordered a tool mentioned about and will see if adjusting it clears the problem. tool supposed to be here monday. will follow up then

Gwbarm replied to Its-always-something's topic in Arctic Cat ATV Forum
My expieience with most after markets is they are factory set a little lean, but Mech is right it is acting rich, my thoughts is try to adjust the mixture as well, and see if it helps, but lean running will also make it idle faster, but it should idle faster all the time not just when its cold. -

I don't have one, but these look quite good.. There are other designs of special tools for adjusting the hard to get to bike carbs as well.. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHYW1PBF?tag=qcforum-20

Hello All· 0 replies
I just joined the Forum and this Club. I'm a retired Auto and RV Mechanic. I tinkered with Dirt Bikes in the past, but now have gotten the Quad Craze and so here I am. I hope to bring more to the table then questions, lol. I will gladly contribute were I can! I am looking for a project. I'm intrigued by the Suzuki King Quad 4x4 or a Bayou 300-400 4x4. Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
