Finally solved the carb problem after removing it a number of times. I cleaned every part except the center hole in the pilot jet. That's why I had so much trouble with the choke and high idle. The quad now starts first pull, idles up a little and goes to low idle after it warms up. I checked all the other carbs that I have and every one of the pilot jet center holes were plugged solid. I used a fine torch tip cleaner to unplug them. Thanks for the reply and info. I now have the Mikuni carb schematic on file. Will post some pictures, once I get the body work done.

      I hadn't driven my Kodiak for a two months, and since it was low on fuel, the first thing I did was filled it up to maybe 7/8 full. Getting ready to start it, I rotated the fuel selector switch to "on" and within seconds I smelled and saw fuel dripping onto the floor. I quickly turned it off and the fuel gradually stopped - I can repeat this.
      The fuel is flowing from the hose that is connected to the bottom of the carb, and routes around to the left side toward the wheel well. Any idea what's going on here? It ran fine the last time I had it out.
      Thanks...

      For ATV and UTV enthusiasts, regular maintenance is key to ensuring the longevity and performance of your vehicle. One of the most overlooked yet essential components is the battery. Just like in cars, ATVs and UTVs require a reliable power source to start the engine and power additional features like lights, winches, and electronic accessories. Understanding why changing your ATV and UTV battery at the right time is essential—and why Weize batteries are a top choice—can keep you out on the trails longer and reduce the risk of unexpected battery failures.
      Why Changing Your ATV/UTV battery is Crucial
      1. Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns
      Imagine being out in the wilderness, far from help, and suddenly your ATV won’t start. A reliable battery ensures that your vehicle can always start up, keeping you safe and ready for any situation. Old or degraded batteries lose their capacity to hold a charge, increasing the likelihood of sudden, inconvenient breakdowns.
      2. Improve Overall Performance
      A fresh battery doesn’t just guarantee startup; it also supports optimal performance. ATV and UTV batteries power important accessories, such as headlights, which are crucial for visibility in low-light conditions. A weak battery can dim your lights, affect the functioning of electric winches, and even disrupt GPS or other electronic equipment. A new, high-quality battery helps maintain the consistent power output necessary for these essential features.
      3. Extend the Life of Other Components
      An aging battery can strain other vehicle components. As the battery weakens, it requires more effort from the alternator and other electrical parts to maintain a charge. This added stress can wear down the electrical system over time. Replacing the battery on schedule can help to reduce strain on the alternator and prevent more costly repairs down the line.
      4. Adapt to Changing Seasons
      Temperature fluctuations can significantly impact battery life. Colder temperatures reduce battery efficiency, which can lead to issues during winter months, while extreme heat can cause rapid battery degradation. Changing your battery seasonally or before long periods of extreme weather can help avoid seasonal breakdowns and extend battery life.
      Why Choose Weize batteries for Your ATV or UTV?
      When it comes to replacement batteries, Weize is a top choice among ATV and UTV enthusiasts. Here’s why Weize batteries are particularly suitable for powering these rugged vehicles:

      2. Long-Lasting Power
      Weize batteries use high-quality materials that allow for a stable charge and dependable discharge rate. This long-lasting power translates into fewer replacements, saving you money over the long run. Weize batteries are built to provide reliable starting power and can handle additional loads from accessories, ensuring that your ATV or UTV gets all the energy it needs.
      3. Low Maintenance and Easy Installation
      Weize batteries are designed with a focus on low maintenance and easy installation. Many models come pre-charged and sealed, meaning they’re ready to use right out of the box. This ease of installation makes them an ideal choice for riders who prefer a straightforward setup with minimal hassle.
      4. Affordability and Value
      Weize offers high-quality batteries at competitive prices, making them a great value for ATV and UTV owners. Despite their affordability, they don’t compromise on durability or performance, providing excellent quality without the premium price tag.
      5. Environmentally Responsible
      Weize prioritizes sustainable manufacturing practices, ensuring that their batteries meet environmental standards. This focus on eco-friendly production is a plus for ATV and UTV riders who want to reduce their impact on the environment while still enjoying high-quality equipment.
      Signs It’s Time to Change Your battery
      To maximize your ATV or UTV’s performance, be aware of the signs indicating that a battery replacement is necessary:
      Slow Engine Crank: If your engine takes longer than usual to start, it may be due to a weakening battery. Dim Lights: Dimming headlights are often a clear sign that your battery is losing its capacity to hold a charge. Frequent Recharging: If you find yourself recharging the battery frequently, it might be time for a new one. Age of the Battery: Most ATV and UTV batteries last between two to four years. Regular replacements can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Final Thoughts
      Changing your ATV or UTV battery when it shows signs of wear is essential for reliable performance and safety on every ride. Choosing a dependable brand like Weize ensures that you’re investing in long-lasting power, durability, and value. With a new Weize battery, your ATV or UTV will be ready for every adventure—whether you’re out on the trail or tackling heavy-duty tasks. So before you embark on your next journey, make sure your battery is up to the challenge, and consider Weize as a trusted choice for dependable power.

      I have a 99 Yamaha bear tracker and I have converted the front brakes from drum to disc fairly easy but I cant figure out how to convert the rear with out hacking apart the rear arm. tried to use parts from a wolverine since the rear arms look similar but the caliper mount didn't line up on the bear tracker axle. Can anyone give me any clues or has anyone successfully converted the bear tracker rear brakes. I would even purchase a conversion kit if there is one. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

      I was given a 07 big bear 400 with all the options. The prior owner ran it through water and it started smoking  so he took the head off and gave up. I have  a bunch of parts in boxes and did a quick inventory.  I need a jug, piston, rings etc and thinking it’s better to buy a complete top end. Does anyone have a recommended site to buy parts? I plan to go oem, no china junk but if there are quality aftermarket manufacturers I’ll do an upgrade.
