I didn’t mention before , I did valves gap correct , compression is 180 psi , with little engine oil in cylinder 190psi , I did try starting spray also , nothing at all , no backfiring, no try to start .
will keep digging in . -
Good morning,
I’m happy to say starter circuit is working , thanks for all yours help guys, giving me directions and explaining thing .
Atv cranking good , but not engine is not starting , now time for ignition check . What I did until now is , checked two used spark plug outside when cranking , looks weak , tested ignition coil primary and secondary resistance, both in speck , same with spark plug cap -9.8kohm.
pickup coil is little lower than book say , but maybe because is colder - 450 ohm.Rotation sensing coil shows me 0.2 ohm, but maybe my meter is not sensitive enough.
I also checked shear key aka woodruff key and is in one piece . Checked timing chain marks , when TDC is set upper sprocket is little bit off , but maybe 1/2 teeth , assuming chain is stretched .
All wires to CDI looks good .Will try new spark plug today .
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks again. -
Omg, I’m sorry for this question. Never thought that is a wire connector, suspected something more sophisticated.
Thanks , will work tomorrow on this .

Mech ,
I checked first drawing what you posted
Big bear-Kodiak and this looks like mine , most cables colors matching with mine harness.I need to print this out, looking in smartphone screen is not convenient. I’m not to strong in electrical , but learning and going through.
I need to learn more how to read drawings and symbols on them .
Thanks for all help and yours time , will post later what I find out, and for sure for more help . -
I downloaded and using same drawing like Mech posted , but I’m not sure is correct one for my atv . My vin get me to 2001 yfm400 FAS .
I got 12 V on red coming out of kill switch when On, 0V when Off, assuming is like suppose to be. And from then I lost for now . Previous owner used wire nuts to connect cables and at this point B/W was connected to red .
Gwbarm - can you post electrical drawings from your bike - maybe that will help me to find correct connections.
At the back of a harness , close to CDI I got two plugs , one red(violet), second white . Both connected to I believe relays with same colors , red to red , white to white .
What’s is that ?
White clicking on when key is turned on .
Thanks . -
Hi , i have electrical circuits diagram and started following cables . Up to “engine stop switch” #29 on drawing everything is ok . From #29 R/B (red/black) should come out . Mine is only red and was cut or damaged and somebody connect him with black/white strip . I can’t find anywhere free red which could be the broken one from #29. From drawing I know red should go straight to CDI box .
Can somebody help me with this.

Thanks , first electrical wiring, done cables are broken /chewed, start engine and will see from there .

Mech - now I will a headache 🤣🤣🤣.
This China’s carb has only two jets sizes
#140 and #180. Looking at them I can see holes size difference. I choose smaller cause I did checked how big is in original carburetor and looks like is #135 .
For now I can only testing engine without driving, but once I get it ready will do a spark plug color testing .
Need to check if a needle jet is adjustable.

Carburetor installation update
Im sorry for all language mistakes , English is not my primary language 😁.
I opened new chaineese carb before installation and noticed main jet size is #180 stamped on body . Package included small ziplock with screws for throttle cable cover , throttle cable mount and also jet#140 and I did swap them .
Cleaned all passages with carb cleaner and compressed air , don’t check how many turns was mixture screw in or out , but before engine starting I also replaced fuel tank valve . I go with aftermarket one from Yamaha , Off-On-Res positions. After that I closed vacuum port on carburetor, one which go to original fuel valve .
Need to drill out thread inside throttle cable mount , but that was not a problem . Attached enricher cable (all necessary components was inside carb ).
Enricher open , butterfly throttle close completely , and started cranking- nothing .
Moved throttle adjustment a little bit , just to crack open and trying again .
Started nice in a second , keeps high rpms , I let it warm up and turned enricher off , rpms slowdown and starting mixture adjustment to get a nice throttle response.
I’m not sure how many turns I did , but finally i got nice and fast response, no backfire, will see how will work after I finish primary clutch rebuild ( parts awaiting).
Thanks you guys for all your explanation about carb adjustment and how is it work.
This make my job easier .
For testing purpose I did keep ATV outside for two days 28-30 Fahrenheit temperature and trying start again.
Enricher on , first crank and running smooth and nice . For now I’m happy.
Hope going to stay like that .
More updates after primary clutch fix and test runs.

Carb ordered , can’t wait to installing and see what will happening.
Mech- very detailed explanation, that’s will help me for sure during new carb set up.
-
I hope it will be 😁😁. If not I’m going to look for rebuild kit with it .
If it’s not a problem what rebuild kit did you used?
-
Yes , I’m meaning little brass needle, now in my busted carb is nothing there , only outside brass mount .
I will order carburetor and will see.
Thanks .

Hi , I new with ATV , I just bought a 2001 quad master 500 with aftermarket carb , but previous owner messed up something, drilled extra holes , not attached choke cable etc .
I’m looking for another aftermarket carburetor , do you remember which brand you’re go with . I seen so many on eBay or Amazon , similar prices , not sure is any difference between them . If you remember from where you got it please share this info .
Thanks.
