02 YAMAHA WARRIOR WONT START

[Thomas]

i bought the warrior and it did idled rough but i had the carb rebuilt and tank taken off and cleaned. i rode the four wheeler for about an hour after i bought it and it kept dying but would start right back up. I tried to start it back up the next day and it just turns over. i took the carb back off and everything is good. its for sure firing and getting gas. i havent done a compression test yet bc i cant find a gauge that will screw into the cylinder. i read that it should have around 120 psi. does anybody have any ideas on this or wanna make a lil side money trying to come and figure out the problem. thanks

mine did this and it was the starter solenoid.

but if it was the solenoid wouldnt it just not turn over? i mean it turns over with no problem. it just will not start

if the SS is out, it wont turn over....you should just hear clicking sounds. Thats how it was on my Z400.

mine sounds like it wants to start and i was told that the starter solenoid was "trying" to fail so not sure, but mine will crank and crank but no start.

pull out the spark plug & with it plugged into the wire hold it against the engine block while hitting the start button to see if it sparks.....


that will help narrow down your problem

it is getting spark and gas. the only thing i can think is the compression must be low but im not sure because i dont have a compression gauge. its turning over just fine. just not starting
