I just put a Niche carb on a Bayou 220. What a difference from the other China carb that was on it. It would not idle before. And that was a new carb My Son put on. Now it idles good and runs like a whole different quad. Much faster. I'm impressed especially for  $29. I'm impressed!

Niche seems to be one of the better cheap parts manufacturers. I've had quite a bit of experience with their parts on Jetskis, mostly with a 1995 Yamaha Wave Venture 700. I tried a DB Electrical starter, it lasted about a month before it died- the front, heavily loaded bearing was not greased at all, and it just shredded itself and caused the rotor to contact one of the magnets and grenade.  I picked up a Niche one (which was actually half the price of the DB Electrical) and was pleasantly surprised to find it was better built, and had a proper roller needle bearing at the front end instead of a cheap bushing.  I've also had good luck with their starter relays, and ignition coils. I just put a set of tie rod ends on my new to me Quadrunner 250. They seem very high quality.  Definitely one of the few "cheap replacement parts" companies that seems to actually care about quality.

      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      Troubleshooting a no spark issue, was running OK, maybe a little rich, turned it off, now no spark. I've checked/ohmed out the main key switch, the start/stop switch, neutral switch, brake switch - all good. It will crank the starter, but no spark with the starter or when I try the pull start. I've checked all fuses and diodes. Swapped battery. New plug. New coil. Swapped in a used CDI - no help. Traced, removed, cleaned, reattached all grounds. Removed things like my winch from the circuits to be sure a bad relay or something was dragging it down. When testing voltages, the orange wire going from the CDI to the ignition coil shows no/very low voltage-shouldn't it have 12V on it? Sometimes I get a very weak, intermittent glow on my spark tester, but not enough to fire the plug. I've checked continuity on just about all wires in the harness. Checked/cleaned/lubed w dielectric grease- all connections, redid a few that looked old/dirty. I've checked the stator resistances, all good, but have a stator and rectifier ordered anyway, will arrive Sunday. I verified that the rectifier has a voltage output back to charge the battery while cranking - 10.5-11V, low, but expected while starter is engaged. What else can I check as part of troubleshooting? I have a Haines service manual, but the 1999 350 4x4 seems to be an odd model, there isn't an exact electrical diagram for it, but found one for another year that has all the same number of wires and same color wires, so I've referenced that. Any hints, tips or advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

      Im aware that this relay needs a positive (+) and a negative (-) to activate the other side. The blue wire is the neutral wire so when in neutral it gets ground. The green wire is from the parking break; when you pull the break in it gets ground (-). however one of those two needs to be neutral so that the positive from kill switch can go to the starter relay. The ground from the starter relay is from the start switch. Which one (neutral or parking break) should have a positive (+) voltage?

      I’m brand new to 4 wheelers and just bought a 1987 Yamaha Moto 4 350. It has good compression and fuel, but no spark. I’ve looked high and low trying to find how to test all the components of the ignition system, but can’t find anything. This has a new CDI box on it, but I suspect it might be the stator. How do I test the stator on this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
