try a brand new spark plug, if that does not help, you may be looking at a coil or CDI box. You'll need a service manual to go any further.

2004 Yamaha Bruin 350 starting problems
SecondHandLion replied to charles's topic in Yamaha ATV Forum
Usually a relay clicking indicates insufficient voltage to the starter. Is it the original battery? if so, it's time to buy a new one. The starter uses more battery than anything else- the lights could work fine but the battery may not have the guts to roll the engine. try jumping it from a 12 volt battery- if it starts, it's the battery. It could be a starter, but more likely it's a battery. They usually last 4-5 years. -
oil the chain for starters. if that's OK then adjust the clutch. we once had a 400ex in the shop and the chain was so tight and dry that we had to pick it up with a forklift to move it! chains tighten up as they dry out. should be lubed every time you ride it.

that's a 12 volt unit. Count the caps on any battery- each cap = 2 volts. 6 caps= 12 volts. Sounds like battery may need replacing. jump it with 12 volts first and see if it comes back up to 12-15 volts running.

ATC90-110 series definitely. they are EVERYWHERE I have seen so many running WITHOUT oil I stopped counting years ago. they do run better WITH oil of course, but I have seen these beaten SO badly it is enuf to make one weep. In fact I have a parts bike in the garage! a US90 no less. Somebody welded a whole new front end on it, there were NO parts inside the brake drum which explains why the brakes didnt work and the chain was so dry it took 2 people to push it. NO OIL in it of course but it started right up! I think I'll try and resurrect it! with fresh oil it has compression!

it's just a wick to keep the cam lubricated....they don't last forever...I don't think I've seen an oldie with one still on it.

Project 3: Compilation of trike footage
SecondHandLion replied to Stoopidbot1's topic in ATC 3-Wheeler Forum
WOW memories of the LA Coliseum races and dunes, that was fun thanks! -
I CAN'T BREATHE! hahahahaha:wacko: most folks as you know refer to any 3 wheeler as an ATC. it's the generic of course. how did this start? did you come over from Craig's List R&R?

Sounds like you are lucky to be breathing! Take your time and heal up so you don't feel it every morning.

that can be a tough one as virtually all parts are gone for that... Occasionally I see stuff on ebay, that's where I get my Honda 3 wheeler parts. Sometimes you'll run across a parts bike on Craig's List - may as well buy the whole thing if you can. Keep your eyes open cuz they are around, sitting behind barns etc. good luck
