My 1997 yamaha timberwolf 250
The cold weather may cause your Yamaha Timberwolf to experience hard starting, several months and no use, or a stale fuel supply. Start by replacing the spark plug, if the engine still does not fire up, clean the carburetor and make sure all the hoses are connected tightly with no air leaks. If none of these strategies work, the carburetor may need to be adjusted or replaced. You may want to take it to an experienced mechanic if you are unable to get the engine started.
2005 Yamaha Bruin 350 ATV. What will cause my ATV not to run? Gas is coming from drain tube?
Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from motorcycles to ATV model category.
Turning over has nothing to do with the carburetor! Your battery is flat. It will need charging.
If the carb is leaking, it is because the float is set wrong or the float valve needle isn't seating properly.
Engines only need three things to run.
A supply of clean fresh fuel (not sitting a year)
A Spark at the right time.
Compression.
You say you cleaned the carb **in** carb cleaner, as opposed to *with* carb cleaner. Did you strip it down, check the float for holes, clean the jets and needles?
