You need fresh gasoline in it, if it's been idle for two(2) years, you also have to clean everything that your gasoline touches like the tank, fuel filter, fuel line, carburator, before pouring it in. If that wont help you, Have your CDI tested if your plugs wont spark. Also ask for the history of your bike, if it was running before they stopped using it.

SOURCE: YZ 450 STARTING PROBLEM

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Offhand, the backfire is significant. It indicates that fuel is getting inside the combustion chamber and it further confirms that there is spark. Being the case, it would appear that this is now a timing issue. A couple of ideas to explore:

  • compare the original stator coil and the uprated one; are the coil location on the same side, on the same angle, on the same distance from the edge;
  • there would be a guide notch on the base plate of the coils, are they identical and does it fit exactly back into position;
  • there would be a guide/lock pin that keeps the magneto/flywheel in position;
  • there would be timing marks on the magnet/flywheel that must coincide with marks on the engine case.
Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa. Happy Holidays.

SOURCE: 04 yfz 450 wont start with electrical start

i have a 04 yfz 450 quad. the compression ratio like yours is extremely high. ive had my battery go bad and found that another battery other than factory would turn over the engine, but would not start. i paid the 100 dollars for the factory battery and it fired right up. because of the high compression you need a high cranking battery.

SOURCE: where are the recepticles located on a yamaha 2002 v star ?

The transmission uses your engine oil for lubrication. One of the reasons to use a quality motorcycle oil in your bike NOT car oil...Top off your engine oil, (pour in dipstick hole) and have a good ride.....Good luck to you....Tim

SOURCE: Yamaha 2001 Raptor 660, need to clean my carb

Drain and replace the gas with fresh.
Remove the air cleaner and spray carb cleaner into the inlet. Work your throttle a little then put everything back together and try to start it.

Backfires when you try to rev up engine,

check fuel flow and check spark at spark plugs

According to an "ATV Rider" 2009 article, "When the Grizzly was introduced in 1998 as a 600cc machine, the top was blown right off the displacement wars of the time."
It was replaced in 2002 with Yamaha Grizzly 660, an even bigger engine derived from the well-established all-terrain vehicle (ATV) Yamaha Raptor 660R.
Grizzly's 660 cubic centimeter (cc), four-stroke, liquid-cooled single overhead camshaft, five-valve engine performs well in open country, but sometimes it causes serious problems for owners.
Before you call a Grizzly dealer, however, trying a few tricks in your garage can save you a lot of time and money.

Check the fuel level.
Locate the fuel meter indicator on top of the multifunction display.
If it does not work properly, open the fuel tank, and push the Yamaha 660 Grizzly side to side.
Ensure the fuel is not contaminated by water or rust.
If you have not driven your Grizzly 660 for a long time, drain the tank completely, and fill it with a fuel tank cleaner.

Check fuel hoses for cracks or leakage.
The hoses should be soft and simple to bend.
Replace those that show any sign of wear.

Check the compression.
Screw a compression tester into the spark plug hole, and press the electric starter button.
If no compression exists, contact a Yamaha dealer.
Wipe wet or dirty electrodes with a dry cloth.
The spark plug gap should be checked regularly

Correct the spark plug gap.
Measure the gap with a wire thickness gauge.
If necessary, adjust it to 0.8mm using a screwdriver or replace the spark plug.
Use only a Yamaha-specified spark plug.

Check the Yamaha 660 Grizzly's battery.
Operate its electric starter.
If the Grizzly starts quickly, then its battery is in good condition.
If the engine turns slowly, check the battery lead connections, and you may need to change the battery.
If the engine still does not eventually start, your Grizzly is beyond home repair.

Fuel system has been flushed and prooved that that isnt my problem as to why it wont start , could you possibly tell me any other reasons it wont start ? batterys good , got new spark plug , loads of fuel...

Remove the air filter and clean or replace it. Get a can of spray starter fluid and spray into the carb before mounting the filter. Chances are the new spark plug is wet from gas.

My scooter wont start can u help

It is definitely frustrating when you can't get your scooter or moped started. The first thing you'll need to do is to narrow down the problem. In order for your gas scooter to start, it really only needs 3 things:

1.
Your scooter needs to spark at the correct time.
2.
Your engine needs the proper fuel/air mixture and exhaust flow.
3.
You need sufficient engine compression.

Top 9 Reasons Why Your Scooter Won't Start:

1.
Try depressing the brake handle when starting.
2. The battery has not been charged.
3. The battery is hooked up wrong. This is often the reason for blown fuses.
4. There isn't enough gas or two-stroke oil in the scooter.
5. There is a gas flow problem, especially on the Euro Scooter or Yamaha models.
6. The spark plug wire is not connected.
7. A low battery or bad relay can cause the scooter to only start by using the kick starter.
8. There is no spark to the spark plug. The coil is bad and needs to be replaced.
9. Turn the key to the "on" position.

I HAVE AN 01 660 RAPTOR GOT SPARK BUT WONT START

Try intoducing a small amount of fuel (half a teaspoon) of fuel through plug hole, refit plug & try, if it fires it will show fuel problem up. Also, is the plug wet when you remove it after trying to start? If it's very wet, may just be badly flooded. If not wet, check for fuel filter & if it's blocked, check air filter etc, hope this helps.
