Quad is back among the living......

Unbelieveable...... We tried a carburetor from a good running machine with no luck. Everything acted like a weak spark. Tried a new coil, no luck, was getting ready to order a stator and remembered a new carburetor I had bought a couple years ago and couldn't figure out the electric choke on.... Guy put it on, hooked up the choke, and it runs better than ever....... Something to be said for buying new and trading at the end of the warrenty

I just can't justify a new quad for the beating I give it, much cheaper to just keep patching this one. Pretty dependable if I keep checking the oil :roll:
Just waiting on a brake drum/hub assemble (splines stripped on the old one) that should be here by the weekend....

Thanks for the tips,

Dave
 
I currently have a Yamaha Warrior with the same issue. I have rebuilt the carburetor completely, still no run. It has a new stator and very hot spark, new high compression piston, everything checks out, still does not run. I even used the carburetor off a good running Kohler garden tractor engine and it still does not run. I have tried 4 different used carburetors ("guaranteed good"!) I even offered it to an ATV salvage shop for next to nothing but 3 weeks and they still have not been here for it. I hate to spend another $3-400 on it only to have it not run.

That's wierd.. does it do anything at all??? When you replaced the piston, could you have got the timing off a tooth or so? I got on ebay and got a universal carb that matched the CC and the input/output diameter of my 400 buck original (60 bucks new or new rebuild). Shame to let it go to waste...
