chris.brock Posted December 1, 2012 Report 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

Terry Posted December 1, 2012 Report Posted December 1, 2012 so we don't have to say anything about the kill button then
chris.brock Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Posted December 1, 2012 so we don't have to say anything about the kill button then no, I thought that too, but it ran for a little while
irishfield Posted December 1, 2012 Report Posted December 1, 2012 My old Big Bear needs the choke pulled full to start.. then 1/2 to run for the first 3 minutes or so. Won't even fire if you don't...
4x4bassin Posted December 1, 2012 Report Posted December 1, 2012 I wouldn't be screwing around with it ,it would be going right back to the dealer !
phatpelkey Posted December 1, 2012 Report Posted December 1, 2012 if its new it has 6 months warrenty
Sinker Posted December 1, 2012 Report 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.
