For some reason your DOWN LOAD MANUALS link doesn't work! :-(

Even though parts are new it doesn't always mean they are good. I suggest you use an ohm meter to check the resistance on the ignition coil primary and secondary and any other parts including switches if all ohms out as good then I would suspect the cdi to be going bad or already gone bad. You really need the repair manual to test all these parts to make sure their in the correct ranges!

Now that I thought about if all these parts are in the correct resistant values and your still getting a spark I would look into whether are not your getting fuel to the cylinder?

If your carb is one that has a diaphragm on the top check to make sure the carb diaphragm/s have no holes or pin holes in them. And many times once a carb sits up with gas in them the needle valve and seat tend to corrode and causes it to not function properly. If you haven't cleaned out the fuel tank I would suggest doing that and if the fuel line has no inline fuel filter I would also add one of those as well.

Update On My Parts and Rebuild!

In my last post I mentioned having placed an order from jetsrus.con for a diaphragm with slide included and a rebuild kit however after waiting for almost two weeks I never got my order so I finally emailed them only to find that the diaphragm with slide included was on back order.

Well I requested my money back and once I got that back I ordered a OEM diaphragm with slide included and a Aftermarket moose carb rebuild kit from bikebandit.com which the total was around $163.00.

I got my parts in less than a week then cleaned the carb and installed the new parts and it is working like a new one.

vncowboy, Any time you have to hand choke something to me that would indicate no fuel getting to the motor via the fuel system. And being you say it only has 230 miles on it indicates to me that most likely it has set too long causing the fuel to go bad and clogging the fuel system. I would suggest pull the tank and give it a good cleaning add and or replace any inline fuel filters and if the problem still exists pull the carb and clean it thoroughly then add a rebuild kit and check for any cracked or damaged diaphragms. And if yours has a fuel pump I would also check the output of that as well. Hope This Helps!

Mudrider, I agree with ctd44! On most ATVs you'll have an accessory plug which is limited on the amperage that should be drawn from it and if you exceed that limit most likely you'll drain both batteries very quickly. What I would do is find out what that limit is amperage wise on your ATV and what the amperage of the music player you want to use draws. If the music player meets the ATVs accessory plug amperage recommendations your good to go if not I would suggest looking into a power source such as a small 2 cycle generator. I myself have never connected a winch to mine but I would think it would run directly to the battery with an inline fuse at the battery just in case something gets shorted out between the battery and the winch. Hope This Helps!

Thanks for the replies I didn't get any email notifications from quadcrazy in regard to this post.

Thanks Nor7 and Ajmboy, for trying to help me out!

Tonight I went ahead and placed an order for the diaphragm with slide included and a rebuild kit from Jets R Us the total came out to around $115.00.

I looked everywhere for just the diaphragm only but could not find one for the 94 model. I found some for newer models though but wasn't willing to gamble on getting something that may not work.

Thanks and God Bless, Whip

I am trying to locate 1994 Suzuki LT-F250 Quad Runner Carb Slider Diaphragm I only need the Diaphragm not the slider. I have tried to find a part number for the Diaphragm but have failed to find one. I have found a Diaphragm on EBay but the model years don't match. I sure would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

once i have it running if i hit the starter button you can hear the starter turning. would you still recommend that?

If you have the engine running and then press the starter button and hear the starter motor turning that would indicate to me the starter is probably bad because with the engine running the starter is not under a load. If this is the case when you try to use the starter and apply the load of turning the engine over a bad or dragging starter motor cant handle the actual load being applied to it and it would quickly drain your battery down. In most cases a dragging starter is an indication that either it has been overheated and or the bearings are worn out allowing the armature to drag inside the case and bad brushes can also cause the starter not to handle a load because the proper connections are not present. Hope This Helps!

With the break applied and ignition ON and the neutral light ON I would think since you're not hearing a click upon pressing the starter button that either the starter switch is not making a connection or the solenoid is bad. However you can jump or bypass the solenoid as marioweldinginc suggested but this can be done on the two large post on the solenoid itself. Simply use an old screwdriver to make a connection between these two large post Caution: with this method because jumping across the these two post can cause your screwdriver to get hot very quickly! Once the jump is made the starter if good should attempt to turn the engine over if not your started is probably bad. The Solenoid can be found by tracing the large wire connected to the starter directly to the solenoid. Hope This Helps!

"Tell us how you'd use your gift card to fix up your quad".

I could always use some preventive maintenance parts such as oil, filters, plugs, thermostat and parts like that in stock. Since mine stays outside in the weather most of the time it would also be nice to have a heavy duty cover to put over it since a tarp is such a pain to put on and take off. I would also love to have a camo vinyl kit that would hide most of my faded plastic body parts. Some green slime in my tires wouldn't make me unhappy either!

Need some advice... The exhaust coming out of the engine glows red hot when running for a few minutes. I have been told it is running too lean. How do I fix this? is there an adjustment on the carb? if so, where is it located? Thanks!

If if an engine is running to lean the exhaust should not glow red hot! Sounds to me like something is restricting your exhaust for example: nest from dirt dobbers, rats, squirrels and other little critters can cause this. This same thing will occur on many vehicles with catalytic converter/s installed that become clogged over time. Hope This Helps, Whip

I just acquired a 1985 honda trx250. She is in need of some love, badly. Which I will be showin the old girl. I will post pics tomorrow [it's dark here now]. Strangely it does not look like the pics of trx250's that I have viewed with google images. Mine seems as if it has been stretched out but the frame is solid and has not been chopped and welded. And it still has the sticker on the front with the model and date. I also have been trying to locate the vin number but don't know where to look. Any help would be appreciated I will also make a thread in the honda forum. Hi and tia.

On the 2006 model the VIN is located on on the front bumper.

Hi, I have a baja 90cc atv. The battery went dead and the atv was sitting there for about a month. I got a new battery and now it will start up for like 2 seconds at full throttle without me touching anything after clicking the start button and then turn off. Its not moving because theres no clutch. Any tips on how to keep it running???????

Sounds to me like a fuel supply problem and or a carb problem. I'd start with checking the fuel supply flow from the tank and if thats good move on to the carb. However if the fuel is older than a month old I would remove the tank and clean the tank and then add new fuel along with a good fuel stabilizer. Fuel today goes bad pretty quick and can gum up a carb and cause the throttle needle to stick too. Hope This Helps, Whip

i just went over to the motor sports store and got a remote for my winch it used to i just got the four wheeler a little while ago im trying to touble shoot it and was just wondering if anybody had that issue before thanks jeff

jeffreyscott, If you could be a little more clear and specific with your question I think it would help in answering your question.

I can tell you that some of the more expensive winches use a remote that have both a forward and a reverse, the least expensive winches do not have a reverse only a forward the reverse is done manually by hand.

I have never been into a 2001 yamaha warrior 350 engine to know what all kind of damage a loose nut could cause if any and unless I knew I would pull the head and whatever other parts needed to make sure what exactly was going on. Loose lips sink ships lost nuts in an engine now that could be a disaster!

Whip

Thanks heaps.

i rang an old mate of mine who has a bike shop, they suggested a harmonic balance puller could do the job. ... it worked a treat. the bearing is definately worn and so is the drive gear. replacing both.

Jenko, I'm glad to hear you got the flywheel off and now are on your way to getting the atv all fixed up right!

Hi All

i have a 2000 Kodiak 400 that seems to have a starter bearing problem and i would like to confirm it with your help.

the electric start works but does not engage the drive shaft. the bike however it will start with the pull starter. little hard on the arm tho. i have removed the pull starter and the staiter but at this stage am having trouble getting the flywheel off with out a puller to do the the work (any hints gratefully accepted). i have done this to check the one way starter bearing. If you could help me i would be greatful.

Thanks Jenko

Jenko, in order to remove the flywheel you will probably have to either buy a Flywheel puller:

P/N. YM-01404, 90890-01404 or use that part number look at the photo of one and make one yourself. The link below is one that for sell on ebay. Hope This Helps, Whip

so i got a 2000 yamaha bear tracker 250 and when i first got it, it ran fine once u finally got it started. well i narrowed that down to the intake tube was too long so i got oem parts and fixed that hoping bam there goes that problem well i get it all put back together and all of the sudden it will crank but no fire off. so i remove the spark plug to make sure im getting fire and no dice so i put a new spark plug in and still no fire. so electrical problem but im lost as to where to start. or how to test any of the electrical parts leading to the spark plug. please help i would sure like to get this thing running for my three year old for christmas. thanks in advance.

SLICKRICK, when checking for spark at the plug make sure the outer metal part of the sparkplug is grounded to the engine, make sure the main ignition switch is on, make sure the emergency switch on the handle bar is set to the start position and make sure the atv is in neutral.

After checking all these things above and it still fails to fire or spark at the plug then check all or any wiring, wiring connections and or connectors that you have intentionally or unintentionally disconnected while woking on the atv and also check all the fuses.

If all these check out as good and the atv still won't fire at the plug you will need to test other things such as the igntion coil, pickup coil but you will need a volt/ohm meter and the specifications for these in order to test them.

In order to get this information go to the Yamaha ATV Forum and you will see a sticky note posted by oxidized_black in regard to Yamaha Service Manuals go through each page until you get to a download LINK for a 1999-2001 Yamaha Bear Tracker YFM 250XL© service manual link. Click on that LINK and download the PDF file to your computer this should provide you with more than enough information to test and find your ATV problem.

Also give oxidized_black a shout of thanks for the manual. Hope This Helps, Whip

Go to the Polaris ATV forum look for the sticky notes in regard to a 2004 Polaris Magnum 330 service manual. That manual might tell you how to adjust the pilot screw and much more. However if it doesn't many Polaris delaers may answer that question for you for free, it never hurts to ask. Hope This Helps, Whip
