This sounds like a classic case of being too lean. As an engine warms up it runs richer, and that is consistent with your symptoms.
First I would try backing the fuel screw out about 1 turn and test for positive response. If you have to back it out more than about 3.5 full turns, go up on the pilot jet one size, and come back to about 2.5 turns and adjust the fuel screw for maximum idle speed.

Choke on the carby not operational

  • Anonymous May 19, 2016

    If the choke(enrichener) were not operational, it would be hard, if not about impossible, to start without extraordinary measures.

  • Bill Boyd May 19, 2016

    then what do you mean by taking a long time to warm up Are you going off the temp gauge and how long it takes to move up the gauge
    has it got coolant or is it air cooled
    if it has coolant then check that the thermostat is not stuck open and inoperational

SOURCE: yamaha big bear no spark

I'm not familiar with all quads and all the kill switch locations. Does it have a tip-over kill switch? Is it working? Is the quad in neutral? Is the neutral light on? Many engines will not spark if the neutral light is not on. Are the headlights off when starting?

How good is your battery? A low battery can kill spark. Test for spark by grounding the threads of the plug against the cylinder. Have a friend kick the bike while you watch for spark. Assuming no spark, then check all the kill switches with an Ohmmeter to be sure each switch is working properly. Sometimes a switch goes bad. Try disconnecting all kill switches then check spark.

Check the wiring harness, even under the gas tank and seat. Are all the connectors clean and with a tight connection? Any abraded wires? Check the ignition switch also. The switch can go bad as well. Are the flywheel coils good > is the battery getting a charge?

Still no spark? If CDI then get it checked.
If points then file or replace them along with a new condensor and reset the gap then time the engine. >> I hope this helps.

Please rate this answer. Thanks trsrhntr!

SOURCE: won't idle steadily

Check the rubber boot that joins the carby to the engine to often have seen the hose clamps over tightened therefore creating a split in the rubber letting to much air in giving the rough idle eventually you wont be able to start it at all (have a good thorough look inside an outside of boot doesnt take much)

If 2 stroke check crank seals, check plug cap for proper resistance,check for good fuel flow to carb.Spark should jump at least a 1/4" gap,NOT JUST the .030 or plug gap.

2004 Yamaha Beartracker, new carb. Runs OK at idle but bogs down when I hit the throttle and won't reach higher RPM.

Sounds to me like your not getting enough fuel change fuel filter and tak gas out of tank and clean it out a few times as the screen in the tank may be clogged also if you have an electronic fuel pump make sure it is working properly

I have a 99 yamaha bear tracker that we boughta new carb for dont want to idle on its own and bogs down while driving. Have set to specs and done valves. Only will run with choke out. Any suggestions?

Check the float it maybe set too high... the gas falling into the float isn't running long enough before the float shuts her down.. Also check that the line from the fuel tank is clear and not full of kinks. Then set the low idle and high idle needle valves on the carb... call manufacturer or local much to get the screw turns...make sure the rubber seal between the engine and the air is not sucking in air. ... it's usually like a mini pipe.

I HAVE 2002 YAMAHA V-STAR 1100 CLASSIC THAT RUNS GOOD, BUT THE IDLE SEEMS TO TAKE A WHILE TO IDLE DOWN. i HAVE NO VACUUM LEAKS . ANY IDEAS?

take a can of carb cleaner an spray all around the carbs an intakes while it is running if it revs up or chokes down you have a intake leak try to tighten them up and see if that corrects it it could also be dirty air breater it would cause it to idle poorly until it warms up

1998 yamaha bear trackers 250cc , What causes gas

The float is stuck open. Try tapping the side of the fuel bowl to see if you can dislodge what my be in there making it stick. The best thing to do is to take the carb off the bike and disassemble it and clean it.
And when you put the carb back on put a in line fuel filter on and this will help out in the future.
