•••• My ATV: '94 Yamaha Kodiak 400 - YFM400FWF •••• I know you've heard this before, but as you can see by the list below, I've tried all the Normal stuff. If the engine sits for any period of time and cools below 80 degrees, it won't start. I've checked all of the following, but the it still won't start when cool. The spark plug gets saturated with gas after cranking - choke or no choke. No fuel runs out of overflow. Got good spark (OK) - NGK IRIDIUM DR8EIX - gap 0.28 Carb rebuilt (OK) Rechecked float pin and seat (OK) Pilot Jet set 2 turns out (OK) Removed and Checked Choke O-ring (OK) Adjusted intake and exhaust valves reset to spec. (OK) Battery charged (OK) Checked, Cleaned and applied Dielectric grease to All Wiring Connections. Got good compression 118 psi cold engine. - 152 psi Warm After I warmed the head with a blowing propane heater and it did finally start and would start easily when the engine was warm. What else is there to check? Saturday 10/15/2011, it was unseasonably warm (80 degrees) The Kodiak started right up. ••• Still guessing
