The more north you go, the more riding there is.

Congrats on the quad, thats a great price. You can't go wrong there. You could resell it now for much more. From the pic, it looks pretty good. I would search around for a cheap exhaust, used maybe from ebay. Is that the fuel petcock leaking? If so, they are cheap on amazon: Look for the pull start online as well, shoudn't be too much. Change the oil/filter.

Prices on everything is up, so take that into consideration. Use these sites to start with an idea: https://www.kbb.com/motorcycles/4-wheel-atv/ https://www.nadaguides.com/Motorcycles/ATVs

The Washington Post’s forensic findings are unlikely to resolve that debate, offering instead only the limited revelation that some of the data on the portable drive appears to be authentic. At some point, left wingers will not be able to spin this stuff, its just getting to difficult to protect the Bidens. Even if the word "the" was authenticated as Hunter's, it pours cold water on your doubt mentioned earlier, that's all I was pointing out. Every democrat and left leaning media pundit were so quick to say no its not his....just saying. Kind of hard to argue and say the Russians planted it there.

I think #1 is the plug https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/yamaha/atv/1999/kodiak-4wd-yfm400fwbl/electrical-2 #59V-81942-00-00 COVER https://www.motosport.com/oem-parts/YAMAHA/1997/bigbear-350-2x4/electrical-alternate I'm just not sure of the hook up there.

How about now? 😋

I respect that you think its an alternate universe, but your "real one" seems to be breaking at the seems and crumbling. What happens next is more and more people start waking up. Just look at the superbowl last night, Maybe 5% of people masking. People want freedom to do whatever they want. Once you take that away, you have problems. It's not an alternate universe to see that you take a vaccine that doesn't last but you only afford freedoms to those that take it....it's funky. It would be a different narrative if it was a "one and done" vaccine. Its not and that's the root of the problem.

And because they don't agree with the left leaning naratives that aim to destroy the country. There is a reason those shows have higher ratings, its because more people can relate and more people prefer to live in a free and safe society. Freedom will always win, a normal person who wants a good life will not voluntarily give up freedoms, safety, and opportunity. If you shovel down people's throats things like defund police and side with BLM violence, "allowable" crime, mandates, the normal/common person will say, wait...what? I believe its just gone too far during this pandemic. It needs to end, which is why I side with truckers and anyone else who wants to preserve their choices and freedoms, in any country. Back to the China Virus...glad to see these democrat governers removing mask mandates even if Grandpa Joe thinks its premature and so does CNN. Now we are going to see a trickle down effect like: Here's what's interesting...so if a Walmart employee got vaccinated and then boosted in September lets say...They should be good to take off that mask, right? But wait... let me count the months here... do they have to get a 4th booster in February after it starts to wane? I don't get it....and I think others don't as well. How many shots is everyone willing to take? 1, 2, 4, 8? What's your comfort zone?

Here's what's troubling if you monitor other countries, which you can do via the WHO dashboard https://covid19.who.int/ Israel is usually on the forefront of boosters and ahead in its covid response. They are a highly vaccinated country and now its spiking again. They just boosted a lot of people in the fall... If you get away from US news for a moment and read what other countries post, headlines like these are troubling (if factually accurate) https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/modern-day-censorship/80-of-serious-covid-cases-in-israel-fully-vaccinated/

Sounds like a nice find! You should be able to find the maintenance recommendations in the manual:

To this point…it’s good that fewer are critical, but can we agree that hospitals are not being overrun by the unvaccinated and it’s no longer a “pandemic of the unvaccinated”? It’s getting pretty silly for the media to fixate on the unvaccinated in the US. Everyone knows that vaccinated are getting sick as well at this point and are spreaders just as much. CDC: More vaccinated adults hospitalized with omicron, but fewer admitted to ICU A higher proportion of adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during the period of omicron dominance were fully vaccinated compared to the period of delta dominance, according to a new analysis, but those people were also less likely to be severely ill or die. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/592847-cdc-more-vaccinated-adults-hospitalized-with-omicron-but-fewer-admitted-to?amp

Here in the states Moderna only received full FDA approval on Monday. Agreed. Its the craziest thing ever. The issue is that it does not prevent the spread. Eventually you run out of unvaccinated to blame. The last 12 people I know who got covid, 10 vaccinated, 2 not. All are good thankfully. To each their own, the good thing is that a vaccine exists for those who want it. The bad thing is that it does not stop transmission and has waning efficacy. What do you do with everyone who just got boosted next September? Boost again and again? Many vaccine takers are not for that and signing up to a yearly booster campaign. We really don't know the long term effects of that. There is a lot of steam on Novavax, which I think will be an option for those who don't want mrna, its more tried and true technology. Again, the good thing is that we have these things, the bad is that they don't last or prevent transmission. Just my $0.02 since you all started posting again on the topic. Hope everyone is well!

I'm not from there but out of curiosity, I just did a google search, Have you checked into any of these?

So here we go again and NY seems to be an epicenter again for covid/omicron. How does a city that requires a vaccination card to do and go anywhere become an epicenter? Highly vaccinated countries are going into lockdown, its just crazy to do this again. Hope everyone is well.

Looks like a nice find! How much did this blaster cost you? Its good you're mechanically inclined! Is there a pic of the entire ATV before you took it apart? Are you putting it back together or parting it out?

Yes, this is due to inflation, shipping container shortages, shortage of workers and price gouging or taking advantage of the pandemic.

I heard from two people at work yesterday that shared stories of someone sick in the ER and had the vaccine. Another one has a sister that works in the ER and a majority of the sick are vaccinated according to her but its not being reported, for whatever reason. I think what's happening is that people that got the vaccine 4-6+ months ago are getting sick and the the GOV knows this, hence the boosters. Everyday the media reports on someone famous getting ill and was vaccinated. Its all over twitter and facebook as well, which changes the narrative and reduces public trust. I even think someone sent out a "memo" to the media to stop saying the "pandemic of the unvaccinated" because we don't hear it as much the past two weeks because the eye opener is that the vaccinated are getting sick. It's a problem and people are pissed.

Thanks for posting this. Looks like this is the latest meeting that drove the decisions about booster shots (Sorry Biden). It is concerning and you won't hear this in the media. What is also concerning is the the fact that she says vaccinations are driving the variants. It does seem to me like vaccination is not the best path forward and I would shift focus on therapeutics (Grandpa Joe is rationing those for some reason...). People are just used to getting a "vaccine" and never worrying about it again, this is not that. You don't get a shot and are covered for life, clearly. Plus it wanes and wanes, so we will live on boosters forever? Not a good strategy. Yes I read this as well. They are looking at an inhaled vaccine in the future. In the spirit of research, watch Israel and other highly vaxxed nations. This is what the US can expect. Go to the source, the WHO. Its their site and their data: https://covid19.who.int/region/euro/country/il Make your own determinations but my guess is it may be a bad fall/winter as people move indoors in the US.

Isn't this the flu though? COVID is supposedly much more transmissible. The point with masks is if you are breathing out a virus, you are less likely to spread it.

Did you figure it out? Almost sounds like a possible timing issue.

Isn't that your CDI?

Are you looking for something specific for your Kodiak or an issue you are having?

If it started and ran for a bit, timing and spark are good. My guess is fuel shortage. Check your carb first. I had an old suzuki years ago that sat for a while. The float in carb was stuck, corroded pin. Fuel would not fill the bowl so it was always fuel starved. You can also get a cheap carb on Amazon for under $50. https://www.amazon.com/Carburetor-Suzuki-LT230GE-Quadrunner-1985-1987/dp/B085DJS9X5/ref=pd_lpo_3?pd_rd_i=B085DJS9X5&psc=1

The CDC has lost credibility, its becoming a joke. Whoever said to "trust" the government, needs a better education on the history of government. The bigger the government the less free the people are. You can't have your freedom and then get in line like sheep with whatever the government wants you to do without a vote, that's not freedom. The more the gov pushes and now mandates, the more it will increase hesitancy, these idiots don't realize that. You have medical professionals in the US willing to lose their jobs than get vaccinated, why is that? For some its about the science (or lack of) and for some its about the freedom of choice. So why are vaccinated people complaining, they are supposed to be "safe", no? Hmm... Biden told us in June to throw out our masks if we are vaxxed....oh yeah, he jumped the gun I guess, and the science changed, and Delta came out, and vaccinated people were getting sick. Well maybe when he told everyone to take off their masks, they started spreading it around, even though vaccinated. That's the likely scenario, but they don't want to report on that. Unvaccinated were wearing masks up until then, so the only change was vaccinated throwing theirs out...and poof...spike in cases. Try this...Get rid of the mask mandates and let people decide for themselves if they want to take a chance...but wait, is it possible that even after you get vaccinated, you may still be in danger? Probably until the next variant. People are going to quit their jobs because of mandates, the backlash is intense across the nation. Morons in entertainment and business are starting to even say "F... your freedom". What is that? You can't be an American and say that, America IS Freedom, or was supposed to be. Add to this the Afghanistan tragedy, rising price of gas, beef, groceries, commodities, inflation, etc.....Biden is not doing a good job at all and Obama warned everyone about Biden but no-one listened. Obama....“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f--- things up.”

It doesn't work the way they sold it or have long term efficacy. Israel is already talking about a 4th shot. I really hope there aren't long term affects they are or aren't aware of. What happens when everyone is vaccinated and people are still getting sick being vaxxed? The way its being pushed is all too fishy to me, even for a believer of most vaccines. Its over the top and yes, he has to know that its going to hurt the party in the long term, but he doesn't care about a possible next term because he's barely making it through this term.
