Identification

I just aquired a yamaha four wheeler and cant find no i.d. plate so i'm not sure what it is so parts are kinda hard to get without it. i also have the problem of when you start it it will run just fine but you go to accelerate and it just dies dose anyone have any ideas on that?? This is a earlier model that has the lever on your left hand side for range and reverse along with a foot operated gear shift. i have had the carb apart and the fast jet was plugged i got everything clean and put it back together and still have the same result.. please help...

2 Stroke or 4 stroke?

Skitch,

Is it possible for you to take a picture of it with a digital camera and upload it here? I'm sure our panel of "experts"

could identify it for you in addition to answering your question.

Maybe this will help!

it is a 4 stroke and as far as a picture i can make that happen... Im at work right now and that is where the atv is settin..a picture will be loaded as soon as i can get it hopefully later this evening.. it sucks that i am a mechanic but cant work on these little engins but im a diesel and heavy equiepment tech not a small engine tech and i have found that there are many diffrences other than carborator and spark plugs

ok guys there is now a picture on my profile of what i am working with..i got in contact with the original owner who told me if i let it run for a good while it wouls accelerate...is there any way to adjust the timing like with honda having it on the camshaft where it can be tuned?? I would like to get it running correctly before i buy new tires for it....i would hate to spend the money for tires than have some other problem more major where i half to haul it an hour and a half to a yamaha dealer to get it fixed.....any advice would greatly be appreciated and thankyou for the advice already given.

I have also discovered it is a moto 4 if that would help any in the quest of the help i am in need of..

ok now after some more research i have found what it is and found that i goofed somewhere when i went to upload a pic of it..check my garage and it will tell you although on both of my atv's the proper model wasnt displayed so i chose the best i could to fix it.

i know it sounds fishy but i trust the person i got it from..but could anyone tell me where to look on this late 80's 4-wheeler for the vin plate..i may have just over looked it..i know honda puts them on the front of teh frame but i am not sure with yamaha.

Did you look on the lower main frame by the left foot peg ?

Holy crap! Good luck I have no idea......

MH, look at it this way, even if it WAS stolen, I think Skitch did the guy a favor!

Sorry Skitch, no offense friend!
