That’s what it looks like

When I spray in the carb it runs for a second and then cranks but if I keep spraying it tryed to start but won’t. I am going to look into it this weekend when I get time and see what’s going on Also this was on the fuel petcock

I took the carb apart and cleaned it with carb cleaner. And it’s getting fuel to carb pull line off and it was getting fuel can’t seem to get it to run longer then a second. Ok thank you I will try that and report back

Hey guys I have a update on my 95 Yamaha Timberwolf 250cc 2wd. I have got it to where it will run for a second on starting fluid and the. Just cranks. Has spark is getting fuel. There was some nasty stuff in the bottom of the tank but got that taking care of. Like I said it will run for a second and then just keep cranking like it does not want to hit anymore. Any ideas

Ok thank you everyone when I get some free time I will check it out I feel like it’s the wrong switch or something is not wired up right on my end.

Ok thank you I will have to try that and see what happens

That’s part is good it sparked when I touch the two post together I bet that’s why when I hit the start button it does not do anything

This is the part that is clicking. When I touch a screwdriver to the two post on the starter solenoid it’s cracked over

Ok thank you for your help guys I will get a test light and a meter and do some testing. and so mech you are saying to connect the black to the black and white wires or no I can send a picture of the wires I am tlaking about. And to jsl it is a 1994 Yamaha Timberwolf 250 2x4.also yes it does have a neutral light indicator on it and it’s lights up when i turn the key to the on position. And also when I hit the button the stater solenoid relay clicks.

Hey guys sorry for the late update but I got a new starter installed tonight and went to hit the button and noting but I crossed the starter solenoid and it’s cranked over and hit for a second so I am going in the right direction. There is still that one wire that is getting me. I hooked it to red and blew a fuse. I hooked it to black and nothing. I hooked it to black and white and nothing. So any idea or help is appreciated thank you

Ok thank you for your input. I actually purchased a new starter. I am a mechanic myself so pretty handy with this kind of stuff only thing I never attempted to rebuild a stater. I am always afraid I am not going to put it back together right and end up buying a new one and also have took the carb apart and cleaned it. And I appreciate everyone help and if I have more questions I will definitely ask here

Ok I will look into it and see thank you.

Ok thank you very much for the info I also just wanted to say I took the starter off tonight and bench tested it and nothing happened. So I took it apart and this was on the inside

The cdi box is a 8 wire cdi box on my atv

Sorry everyone for just now getting back to you so late I have read everyone responses thank y’all very much for help me with this and I am not a big fan of electrical stuff but I have found the vin and it’s a 1994 Yamaha timber wolf 250 2x4. Also just wanted to point out that the wires for the old key switch and new one match up but I am unsure of what the black wire running from the start stop switch has another black wire coming off of it and was hooked to something. That’s my biggest thing trying to figure out at the moment. Again thank y’all very much for your help. And I am hoping now I know what year it it’s it can help me to look up wiring and get this figured out and riding. Also going to include a picture of the old key switch plug and the new one.

I took the start/stop switch apart and everything looked good in there and I will point out in that picture i posted there a black wire running from the key and start stop switch with the other black wire coming off of that. I hook it to the red wire on the key switch wiring the other day and hook up the battery and it blew the 10am fuse. So I am waiting to get another fuse and try different ways to wire that black one with the black one coming off of it. To a different wire and see what happens. I am not sure if I said this but it did not have jet switch when I bought it. The guy told me with a hot battery and a new cdi box it would run but you know how you can’t trust people nowadays. Also i had to cut the old plug and wire in the new key switch and I hooked them up color to color but like I said I am not sure were that one wire goes that’s coming off the existing black wire near the key switch.

Ok thank you for the suggestion I will try that and report back

Ok thank you everyone for the suggestions I will try that and report back to you guys. I also want to mention that it clicks with the start switch in the off position as well but i wil try bridge the two post on the starter solenoid and see what happens. And also to note the starter solenoid relay I can hear it clicking when I press the start button but I will try what was suggested first and let you all know. Thanks

To the top post the connection are tight. Also want to mention I had to Wire on the key switch and there is one wire that I am not sure about on the wires. And to the bottom post yes the neutral wire is going dim when I press the button on the switch. And the battery is brand new also fully charged And yes I have and noting no spark or anything. I will include a picture of the wire i am tlaking about on here and see if anyone can help me. To note its a aftermarket key switch and everything.

Thank for the add on quad crazy. I am new here and need some help with my atv. It’s a older Yamaha Timberwolf 250 that I purchased second hand from an person. I got it home ans started to look into it. He stated it needed a cdi box so I ordered one for it and a battery as well also a key switch cause it did not come with one. I put all the parts on it and when I hit the start button it just clicks and noting else. Thank you any help is appreciated.
