Well, I let the Yamoto sit for 2 months without starting it. The battery is dead, got a new one from Wally World.

Now, it won't start, and doesn't sound like its getting a spark. May as well change the spark plug. Any ideas on what plugs can be found at the local Auto parts store?

Next I'll replace the fuel filter.

These are my first problems after 8 months, not bad. Still not a Honda though.

 

Just bring the plug with you, plop in on the counter and ask, "Happen to have this in stock?". That's what I do, usually if they don't have it, whatever it may be, they will either order it for me, or point me in the direction of where I can get it if I can't wait. I've even had a couple guys that called other stores for me and had the part waiting at the counter when I got there.

Now, I could find most of the parts on my own eventually, but why bother? Especially since most of the guys behind the counter immediately assume that because I have breasts I know nothing anyways, I let them do all the work for me. They get to feel superior and I get the right part and am out the door fast. We both win.

Also, if you plan on letting it sit again, you might want to invest in a battery charger, it's easier, and in the long run cheaper than buying new batteries. Also comes in handy when one of the kids have left the car door open all night and your husband/wife has already left so you can't get a jump.

The battery in our Yamoto 50 was dead just about every day, hooked it up to the charger, put it on 12v/6v jump and it was going within a minute. We ended up just taking off the "alarm system", no more dead battery problem.

Good luck on getting your quad up and running again, hope the plug does the trick.

 

OK, I'll have my wife make a trip down there. She gets the same treatment, free stuff all the time.

I have the battery charger, but it is always on my motorcycle. I'll have to get a second one. WHen it got over 110 in Arizona, I stopped ridign the quads.
