swapping a Yamaha Warrior carburetor into a Wolverine

[@josephdowney4919]

I have a 2004 Wolverine sitting in my garage that needs carb work. After watching this I might just try a Warrior carb. Thanks

[@johnnyhawk329]

Thread size on the throttle cable tube is M6x.75.

[@johnnyhawk329]

I did this swap today because of your info. The wolverine runs better than it ever has. Did the tube cut and rethread for the throttle cable. Worked great.

[@coltong5904]

Great Video, I will be doing this next weekend! Just as a thanks i thought id make a recommendation: If you sign up for an amazon associates account then link the carburetor and intake boot in the description of the video you will probably get a lot of affiliate income from this video. I'm not normally one to click links people put in their video descriptions but had you done that here I definitely would have and id bet many others would have! Just a recommendation so you can make some money for your time spent providing this info. Thanks man!

just installed this carb works great started right up thanks

[@thedancingpickle6362]

Can you put a link to both of these parts? I'm trying to find something better than the broken vacuum actuated slide carb

[@bigfootandbananaman4746]

I agree about the aftermarket carbs. The zoom zoom carbs suck but I have had others that are very good.

[@v1nc3nt91]

Which ones are good

[@bigfootandbananaman4746]

@@v1nc3nt91 I’m not sure what brand they were. They were unbranded and they came on used machines that I have gotten. If you can, try to get an oem carb because they are definitely the best.

Did this carb swap 13 yrs ago and the wolverine is still purring like a well fed cat 😜

What jets did you use

How did you go from an intake boot to a bolted flange from the head to the carb and if you bought parts can you share the links in the comments?

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

A warrior intake boot and carb both have a flange that mounts up unlike the wolverine style

Can you put a link on here for that carb?

[@JustTrizIt]

If you Had to use a different throttle cable instead of cutting and rethreading the connector, do you have any idea which cable to buy? If I understand this video correctly, the OEM cable was just about an inch or so too short to connect to the inside of the carb. Or was it easier to mod the connection than to install another cable? Thanks just wondering.

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

Yes that’s correct, however I’m not sure which throttle cable you may need

[@kylemcdermott3165]

I want to do this carb set up as well. I have the exact same machine. Is it easier to cut the piece on the carb and re thread it where the throttle cable goes or is it easier to buy a new throttle cable?

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

It's probably easier to just buy a new cable but I didn't want to buy one since its easy enough to just cut the pice and re thread it, so really up to you

[@kylemcdermott3165]

@@everythingmechanical_yt thanks for the response. I’m going to go the warrior throttle cable route. I’ll post my results here.

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

@@kylemcdermott3165 no problem! I'm sure many people will appreciate that, thank you

[@kylemcdermott3165]

I did the warrior carburetor swap. I bought the carb off of Amazon (1PZ W35-IM1 Carburetor w/CNC Intake Manifold) And I bought a warrior throttle cable off Amazon as well (1PZ LT5-Y03 Throttle Cable) Using this combination everything bolted up hassle free. Exact fit for the cable and the carb on the Wolverine. Took about 35 minutes to install. I did not have to rejet the carb. I’m at sea level in Louisiana and it works perfect. There is a noticeable increase in throttle response. It is more snappy when you hit the throttle. The carburetor was $89 with prime and the throttle cable was $15. I recommend this swap to anyone who is looking to get a new carburetor. It doesn’t transform the bike into anything crazy, but it does make a noticeable difference. If anyone has questions I will do my best to help.

What size threads are on the throttle cable tube you cut off and rethreaded.

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

I'm not sure, right now the quad is in storage but I used a thread gauge to get the thread pitch right

[@johnnyhawk329]

@@everythingmechanical_yt Thanks man. I have a thread gage, metric and standard. Do you have any idea how much you cut off?

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

@@johnnyhawk329 Im not sure. I would thread as much as you can, then start cutting off small amounts until your throttle cable works as it should

[@johnnyhawk329]

@@everythingmechanical_yt Can you thread it with it installed on the atv?

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

@@johnnyhawk329 no, you'll have to remove the throttle cable and the carb unless you can somehow fit the die on the tube with the carb on

[@bradjackson9999]

Been thinking about doing this same project. Let me know if you think it’s worth the trouble. Can you tell a noticeable difference in throttle response? Thanks for the great Wolverine videos. There’s not many out there.

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

I think its definitely worth it! Theirs a huge noticeable difference in the amount of power acceleration the quad has! It's not too difficult to install either, the biggest pain is just getting those warrior carbs running right. If you buy a new carb this shouldn't be an issue, just run a good quality fuel and air filter that way it doesn't get clogged up

[@asd39101]

What link did you get Carb from? I'm trying to do the same thing now

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

It was a goofit brand carb off Amazon

[@robertthabassist]

Is the wiring harness for a warrior the same as a wolverine?

[@yerielberrios8431]

Where you got the intake?

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

Ebay

[@williamjenkins7446]

I tried to do the same swap my 08 wolverine, the intake bolts are side to side not offset on a diagonal pattern so the intake you recommended didn't fit. But I finally got it mounted. What jets did you use

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

@@williamjenkins7446 The 08 wolverine is a different machine. I just used the stock warrior jets as I’m near sea level with everything else stock but you should cross reference everything with the Yamaha raptor not the warrior.

[@giaandrew05]

Any suggestion on why the warrior carb would start fine, give her some gas and then it revs high and stays there. Carb is clean, swapped some parts out.

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

Make sure throttle or slide isn't sticking

[@im-that-guy-pal]

Vacuume leak! If your engine has problems keeping a steady idle and the idle rpm says high after revving its a dead giveaway of a vacume Leak. Normally it's the o-ring that seals the intake boot to the head, the intake boot has cracks allowing air into the mixture or possibly valvecover cam cover orings.it could also be a head gast but you will know that by high pitch pulsing squeals from combustion.

[@latincalifas5365]

At 4:32 you said I took a die and pushed it down then I cut it. What do you mean. I’m lost, lol I had you until that point. Can you further explain on that

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

Yes! Since I needed that tube to be shorter, I decided to cut it. In doing so, the threads on the end were completely gone since they only continued down about a millimeter or so. In order to cut new threads into the tube I used a die and ran that down so that the throttle cable housing could thread onto the end of the tube as it's supposed to. Let me know if that helps!

[@guitargeek57]

I was wondering the same. So you use had to shorten the tube and not the cable at all?

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

@@guitargeek57 yes that's correct

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

@@guitargeek57 in my case the cable wouldn't reach far enough so I needed to shorten the tube in order to allow the cable to reach further

Will it fit an 06 Wolverine 350? And if so can you send me the link to the warrior carb you got?

I’m not sure about the 06, that’s the year they changed the body style so if the engine is the same it would probably work. The carb was on Amazon and I believe it was a goofit brand

What year is this does the 99 Wolverine have the air carb thing ?

[@thebigman3068]

I have a warrior carb on my 01 Wolverine and it backfires like crazy I know I need a new air filter but would that really cause it to backfire so much when I let of the throttle it backfires all the way down until it’s stop and idling I’m thinking of just getting a new carb but should I try just getting a air filter first

Replace the filter first then I would go from there

Mine bogs out at half throttle and full????

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

This can be tricky, I would just keep cleaning it out, their must be something in their, then make sure your intake boot isn't ripped.

[@israelnation4758]

Did u have to change the jets from the original wolverine carb?

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

@@israelnation4758 no, as long as the carb your putting on has the stock jet size, and your wolverine has a stock intake and exhaust you don't need to change the jet size

I put on a warrior carb on my 97’ Wolverine. It doesn’t even turn on with the warrior jets switched them with the wolverine jets. Starts right up, runs ok. Still feel like it’s missing power. Maybe not tuned right. All I know is my 200trx shouldn’t be faster than this 350 right???

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

@@israelnation4758 if that's the case you may have had a clogged jet or a non original carb on the warrior. Does your quad have an aftermarket intake or exhaust?

[@markmullins9037]

I bought a 99 wolverine 350 4x4 and it sputters bad when you give it full throttle in every gear the guy I bought it from said it was because it was a aftermarket carburetor and it needs a original back on and the shop here said it would be like 350 for parts and labor is there anything I can do to not spend that much ?

[@im-that-guy-pal]

The wolverine has a switch that limits revving when the handbrake is applied. Have you disconnected the switch to see it it stops the sputtering? Also if it boggs at full throttle your jetting isn't set correctly. You need to adjust the high circuit jet needle up or down. Also blow compressed air through it to make sure it's not restricted. Aftermarket carbs work just as good as one if you know how to tune a carburetor.

[@chrismitchell5484]

So after months of dicking around with a shit made Wolverine carb from Amazon I finally slapped on a warrior carb, she is running better but seems to have lost a lot of top end power/speed. Going up even little inclines is forcing me to drop gears just to make it….can’t seem to find a problem, any advice would help thanks

[@everythingmechanical_yt]

I would check what size jet is in it and make sure it's correct with your elevation
