so I went out and bought a real clean 89 350 warrior it started fine and was a little cold blooded but once it was warm ran like a beast any way I went over a snow bank and I caught a little bit of air and as soon as the tires hit it just died!!! I didn't hit vary hard this was a small snow bank an I ran over it fine a few times before but not that fast can you guys give me some advice before I tear it apart tomorrow? thanks guys

have you spark at the plug?

do you think it may have gotten wet?

i would check for spark and connections ... a heated garage would be a bonus too ...

i posted a manual in the other thread, says its good from 90-98 ... http://www.quadcrazy.com/atvforum/yamaha-atv-forum/9571-2001-yamaha-warrior-350-wont-fire.html#post89266

is there a dash light for the neutral/safety switch?

sitting on the bike, it should be way back on top of the tranny on the left, sometimes that single wire gets weak and breaks or doesnt have a good connection ...

[davidiz420]

[oxidized_black]

have you tried either spraying gas or quick start into the carb thru the airbox?

that manual i posted should be good for your bike, 1987 thru 98. 04, 09 and 2012 online ...

update I changed the spark plug went threw and plugd and unpluggd every conection its getting fuel and spark I sprayed the air filter with quik start and still nothing

could this have something to do with my pool rope breaking the black part came off while running and sucked the rope back in and it was spinning I took it off and took the rope out and reasembeld and was running fine till I hit a hump then it just died it will crank but could the fly wheele or whatevers next to the pull starter be the culprit???

also could it be the clutch casing it to not fire ?????

That is why I hate messing with electrical issues. You could chase it from one end of the quad to the other and back again. I wish you luck and keep posting the results. I am waiting for my tax return and sending my to my mechanic. This is one issue I don't mind paying him to figure out, besides it is too damn cold in my garage to do any work now.

yes but if its getting spark and cranking over perfectly than I don't think it would be electrical I think it has something to do with the pull start any body else have problems after they've done fuckd up there pull start?????

and also if the clutch is out or not properly working could that be the cause when I pull clutch and try to start it still trys to go forward a little and its adjusted all the way out already

:aargh:

Damn, that is crazy. It doesn't sound like you were really beating on it. What made it go apocalyptic on you?

faulty repairs whoever rebuilt it last used a longer bolt and washers to hold the cam and timing chain when it loosened up it just started eating away the timing sprocket chain guide and cam is all destroyed... I HATE CRAIGSLIST!!!
