Will it run? Yamaha grizzly 660 ATV sitting for years outside | Part 1

[@jessefpv9217]

Adjust your air fuel mix screw on the bottom of the carb. Back it out 2 to 2 1/2. That will stop the backfiring & Stumble.

If there's one thing I'm learning about people who move to Alaska...it's that they have skills. Multiple skills. Really enjoy watching you guys. 😊

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Thank you 💛

[@msdaisyrv1135]

Nice job on getting it started again. Check for a vaccum leak at carb to engine connection, Check and set proper valve clearance, clean carb jets again.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Thanks for the tips!

[@nathanwallace7234]

Uni filter is the only way to go with those. And I also have a 02 660. Whenever you order parts or whatever make sure it’s for the 02. They changed some things on the 03-08. You have to make sure 02

[@nathanwallace7234]

Oh another thing k&n oil filter is probably the best way to go and shell rotella t4 oil is good to use. Gotta use something suitable for wet clutch

[@ianandcarriewilkie7375]

Awesome job bringing it back, I have an 05 660 myself, it sat for a while and had a back fire issue as well, try the coasting enricher diaphram on the side of the carb, good luck

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Thanks for the tip!

[@marktonthemove]

Kind of a jack of all trades eh, Craig

[@mikemax2359]

Replace the carb boots, clean jets(use a small piece of wire from a wire brush if you don’t have exactly what you need, adjust fuel/air mixture screw, definitely put a new spark plug in it. Make sure the air filter sits tight as well, some wheelers don’t run well without that restriction of the filter being on. Good luck, you have the most important parts done, just need fine tuned. I know it’s not like you have a parts store right down the road. I’ve smeared gasket maker/silicone on cracks in a boot to get me by.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

I went ahead and ordered a new boot but I’ll keep that truck in mind for future projects. Thanks!

[@estellaknox9285]

Got it fired up very nice

[@mikemckinley1031]

Hello i heard that it’s backfiring so I was small Engine repair so 1 clean and change the air filter 2 change a spark plug (or more ) that’s obviously did dirty or bad 3 change the fuel filter 4 you could a little fuel injector cleaner to your fuel tank to clean the fuel line 5 invest in a higher grade for the same reason as the above point

[@chezj4]

Well done on the quad!

[@DawnMillington-i9t]

Good job, hope you finally get it up and running good.😊

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Me too! The parts arrive this Thursday. Hopefully that does it.

[@indianachrisUDX1313]

Check valve clearance. Look for air leak/s, check jets again. I use a torch tip cleaning tool to make sure jets are clean. Good Luck.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

[@jeffwrench9994]

I use torch tip cleaners to clean my jets. Just don't use too big of one where you are scraping the sides real hard. They work great

[@ouralaskahomestead]

I’ll give that a try, thanks.

[@thomasdausch8557]

[@davidbickford2539]

Backfire on decel is generally a lean condition. Exhaust leak, loose air boot, carb. If it has a mixture screw, try adjusting that. It could be the silencer needs repacked. Good luck.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

@@davidbickford2539 I do have a new air boot and a couple other items coming Thursday. Hopefully that fixes it.

[@BrakesBake]

Great job getting the Yamaha to run. A suggestion about if you re-paint it, why not paint it a nice bright colour so it would be easy to find when you are out hunting or fishing? It would also let others know you’re in the area. Orange? lol. Just an idea. You have the patience of a professional. Way to go!

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Thanks

[@aarond2136]

Plugs & sea foam in th gas tank definately change that nasty fuel filter & line. Run as much as possible with a full tank of fuel w sea foam & it should run better. Also check the vent cap on the fuel tank if that isnt letting air in it wont let fuel out. Good luck

[@ouralaskahomestead]

I’ve got new fuel line and filter coming, as well as a plug. Thanks!

[@Jasonrcsd]

@@ouralaskahomestead 2nd the Sea Foam stuff. That stuff seems to work well on these smaller engines

[@Jasonrcsd]

My mom's 2007 Honda Rancher sat for ~6 years. Dad had to go through the entire fuel system including the injectors. They were all gummed up. He got it running again but it was a pain. Not sure if it had ethanol in the gas or not but he uses Sea Foam in his engines if they aren't going to get used for more than 6 months.

[@jobcacka1330]

The carb, air leak or fouled spark plug. Or all three.

[@janetgifford743]

Maybe adust the carb a little if it's made to where you can.

[@oscartheg6674]

K&n filters have to be maintained a lot of people they do it once and they forget it they think I don't have to do that anymore.

[@DoubleTap40]

As others said, probably need to clean the carb again and adjust it. But might try adding some Sea Foam first?

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Great suggestion!

[@KrissBartlett]

im always dropping screws lost one other night never found it so small i used magnet to your good never took a carb apart so glad you good fixing everything you need to fix the idiling in the carby back firing is the exaust got any leaks ?

[@MrDaveR-uq7iq]

Remember your at sea level which is 0 and at the most 200 ft above sea level .... I'm sure your air mixture screw etc is adjusted to wherever it came from and look into the Pilot a bigger pilot inside the carb not much bigger ! New Spark Plug and air cleaner ! , check places it can suck air , also look inside the rubber boot area that holds your airfilter , New Gas ! There's your dinner , and it's all easy stuff try one at a time then test if you need more help , just ask .... Peace ! The Last Frontier ! Amen !

[@ouralaskahomestead]

We’re at 160’. It could be that. I have a new plug, boot, fuel line and filter coming, im gonna try those first but I’ll keep that in mind. It’s definitely possible. Thanks!

[@MrDaveR-uq7iq]

Yes probably it , turn air mixture screw a 1/4 turn and ride listen to response ! If little better then another 1/4 turn until it's good .... remember where you started incase that isn't it so you can return . Careful with Google because your at 160ft only always keep that in mind ! Call Yamaha and pick the mechanics brain ! Your guesses are probably better ! Ha ... but you might get lucky !

[@backwoodsshiner887]

K&N filters are awesome if you take care of em like you’re supposed to. I run em on my dirt bike, atv, muscle car, dirt track car.. literally every thing you just have to clean em and oil em like your supposed to and they’ll last and have a great warranty on them

[@richardcole9646]

Im going to BET that the fule filter is stopped up and that the leaking fuel line isnt helping... I would replace those both first.... Before pulling that carb again. Hope that helps !

[@richardcole9646]

If you still feel it is the jets i would replace them instead of cleaning . But let them soak over night in break clean will clean them if you go that route.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

I’ve got a new fuel filter and line coming later this week, I’ll try that first.

[@trevorclayton6247]

I know where we can use that….🧐 👍

[@kevinwiley9696]

We didn’t see but did you replace/clean that in-line fuel filter…..along with the fuel line??

[@ouralaskahomestead]

I’ve got new of both coming this week.

Wow, impressive, is there anything you don't know how to do?
