Ok guys and gals it's finally time to ask for some help with a mid to high rpm miss fire I'm having on my 2000 quadmaster which causes it to backfire bad and wont allow it to rev past 3000 as per what my timing light is telling me. For the past 2 weeks I've been trouble shooting this issue and for the life of me I cant figure out whats wrong. Here's a little background to what I've done so far.

1. Cleaned and rebuilt carb all jets and settings are in spec.

2. Checked compression and valve lash a

3. battery voltage stays steady at around 13.8v

4. Ohms and peak voltage tested everything as per the oem service manual and no problems found

5. Removed stator cover and found no physical damage to stator or pick up coil or magnets

6. Bought a new ignition coil and spark plug plus used cdi

7. Checked all wiring for damage and cleaned grounds

8. Disconnected rectifier and stator to eliminate that as possible cause

9. jumped power and ground direct to cdi

I know Is an ignition miss because I purchased a inline spark tester so I could physically watch the ignition system in action. It starts and idles smooth with a consistent flash from the spark tester but as soon as i try to rev it up I can see the spark tester skip and my quad just backfires and wont rev past around 3000.

Ok any ideas?

      I’ve got a 2000 400ex with a dg slip on muffler, it came with he stock muffler on it but the previous owner had the dg in a box so I put it on. I’ve been riding it for the past month and a half and every time I let off it backfires, and the other day the backfires got way louder, 2x louder! I’m concerned that I may hurt my motor? Why does is backfire??? Thanks

      I'm working on my uncles grizzly and it sparks once on initial cranking then no more after that. If I let off the start button then press the start button again it will spark once then stop sparking. I was wondering if anyone seen this issue before.  Also I've never used forums before so sorry if this question is in the wrong location.

      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!

      i just picked this up. was told ran fine but overheating issues led to replacing head gasket and head. has not ran since. he is not a mechanic but helped someone else who he could not get back to finish job, got aggravated and put up for sale. i was thinking timing issues. i have 110-120psi on all 3 cylinders so i think valves are correct. dont know about distributor yet. however i have no spark. i have no power going to ignition coil. tried to follow white wire but gets lost in wire harness. does anyone have a wiring diagram? can anyone tell me what conditions have to be met before starting. motor turns over so i would think all safeties are met but you never know.
