Okay I my ride runs but when I load it in the truck or go up a hill it will flood out and not want to start again. Before I go and spend a lot on a new carb I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on this. Also like a big dummy when I bought it used and it had sit for a while I did not clean the fuel tank out and now im going to pull it off and clean it and was wondering also if anyone had any suggestions on what would be something good to clean it with. I have read to use acetone and then was told to use alcohol. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I'm not sure if I can help. when the frontend of a motorcycle or quad is lifted in the air while loading on a truck if it's at a steep angle gas will run out and onto the ground. If your not seeing this with your quad I would say something could be stopped up and the fuel is flooding out your carb because it has no where to go or it could be a float sticking. There are people on here that knows alot more than me on QC I'm sure someone will be able to help you. As far as cleaning the carb I would use carb cleaner it's worked for years. Good luck and let us know what u find out.

      Winch ATV in to Truck Bed
      By Panupong Pradchaphet
      I have a Sportsman 450 HO and almost killed my self when loading it on my truck with ramps.  It rolled off the top of the ramps and tailgate and nearly landed on me.  I now want to winch the ATV in to the truck.  My question is are the front side bed tiedowns in my 2011 RAM strong enough to winch to without distorting the hooks or sides of the bed?

      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      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.

      Kodiac no start project
      By Tinkeringreg
      Hi my name is Greg and I just acquired a free 2000 yamaha kodiac 400 4x4 with the ultramatic transmission that does not run. I plan to get it going and use it around my property

      1999 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4 no spark

      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!
