battery doesn't have enough power it sounds like. The ATV doesn't have a compression assist. Used two hands with a good trip. I usually only pull start mine.

Had same issue with my 1994 yamaha big bear 300. Ended up being the vent hose being plugged on carb. Used compressor to blow out lines and runs like a top. I did the whole carb rebuild and clean, spark plug and other things and ended up being a very simple fix. Good luck

Thanks for all the great advice. Will work on it this weekend

How do you jump the relay? I put a new starter in and nothing

I have a 1994 big bear and I am starting to have issues starting. I put in a new starter and selnoid as the at stopped starting with the electrical but will still start with the pull cord. Where and what now should I be looking at to check? If I turn key to on and the switch to on then hit the start button, the bike clicks and then nothing. Lights still work but no response to the starter. Stumped now. Any help would be greAt.

Thanks. I just took the carb apart again and washed it and blew out all the Chambers with some air. Now I just need to take it for a ride. Thanks again for all the info.

So I have a 1994 Honda trx300 and I still am having some carb issues. I cleaned the carb and installed a new carb kit. Starts great, idles great, but when in 3rd it seems to pulsate. Not steady power. Any ideas on the setting the setting for the carb? I put a new spark plug in and the old one did seem pretty dark and sooty. I checked the gap on new one and installed. Went for a ride and it didn't seem any different. Any suggestions would be great..

Thanks.

Thank you. I am in process of purchasing the ATV and wanted a repair Manuel.

Looking for a Manual for a 1996 Kawasaki Bayou 400.

Yes. It definitely looks Chinese. 

Definitely a carb issue. The setting are not set right. Almost sounds like it is running lean. Check the float setting first to see if it is getting the fuel into the bowl. Also, is there a rubber boot from carb to motor? If so look for a tear or hole. That will make it run lean also.

I have a 1995 Yamaha 350 big bear and I am having trouble starting it. You can hear the solenoid click but starter motor won't engage. Should I be looking at the starter motor or solenoid?  Any suggestions are appreciated. 

Sounds lean to me also

After I rebuilt the card it seems to have a faster idle than before. I have tried to adjust the idle screw but will only speed idle up, not slow it down. What should I look for in adjustments. I purchased a card rebuild kit.

Will it kick over or pull start? If so it will be a short in electrical like battery cable loose on battery or on starter. Possibly. 

Cable is mounted in the bracket. The 2 19mm nuts are snug also. Just not sure which way to adjust the cable. As in or outwards. Thanks though.

I have a 1995 Yamaha big bear 350 and am having issues adjusting the transmission cable correct. It seems when I adjust it to get both forward gears I don't get reverse gear unless I reach down and push the rod on tranny. Anyone have any suggestions? When I got the atv it never ran and was able to tinker my way around everything and now it runs awesome, except I can't figure out the transmission cable.

My 1004 honda trx300 starts up and sometimes idles good, sometimes not so good. If bike is running and I grab the bike and shake it the bike will stall or try to stall. What should I be looking at to fix issue?

Try checking the breather hose on the carb.  It might be plugged. Had same issue on my 1994 big bear. Had a chunk of mud in hose. After blowing it out it ran like new.
