chris.brock Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) My bro inlaw bought a new Yamaha Kodiak 450 (partially on my recommendation, so I feel a little guilty), was running at the dealership, just got it home tonight, trying to back it out of his truck, it started, then stalled, then farted abit, then turns over without starting or sputtering sounds like it's starving for fuel Anybody have any tips? He doesn't feel very good about spending money on a new ATV that doesn't run, I don't feel good for endorsing Yamaha help please Edited December 1, 2012 by chris.brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Take it baack for sure. I'm assuming you've done all that has been mentioned. Gas on, choked it, kill switch not on etc. Is it fuel injected, or carbed? S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
