Looking for a new/rebuilt/used carburetor in good shape for my 1998 Big Bear YFM350FWBK the new ones go from $600 to $450 can not afford that.
So if anyone knows where I can get one at a reasonable price please let me know. david_vallarino@hotmail.com

Have a motorcycle shop rebuild yours. Parts aren't that expensive, and 3 hours labor ought to have it like new. I'd say 200-300 ought to get it done. Check around for best labor rate.

You can also check eBay for a carb, might be a good used or even rebuilt one there, I've had good luck finding parts for my quads on eBay.

Just did a quick search on eBay... found several new carbs for Big Bear 400, 2000 model, don't know if that is similar to yours or not, but price is good...160 bucks for a new, unused carb. Check with a dealer to see if that will work, at most you may only need to rejet for your 350 if it will bolt up. Hope that helps you. ( I did a search for Big Bear carb in ATV parts, take a look).

by bolt, I meant it would go in place of, sorry. Call a Yamaha dealer and ask if they can cross reference the carb to see in the ports are the same size to fit your intake, I can't see there being much difference between the 350 and 400, Yamaha used a lot of similar parts on the Big Bear/ Kodiaks, the blocks are pretty much identical, just bigger bore or longer stroke to make the cc difference.
