Running great. For a few minutes anyway. Dear ATVC: Took my ATC 185s out recently and it died after about an hour of riding. Wouldn’t fire back up without sitting for a while. Then it died again shortly after. New carb + jetted, DG exhaust & Uni filter. Just like as if it won’t start […] More »

Let the diagnostics begin! Dear ATVC: My 2006 Yamaha Bruin 350 4×4 was running fine for the longest time. Slowly it started having more and more trouble starting until finally it won’t start at all.
