Hey, I have a friend who has a Yamaha grizzly 600cc or 660cc I know it’s from the era of 1999-2002. It was flooded by going fully under( I believe) in a swamp a few years back and has not been repaired since. It needs at least a new carb, maybe a recoil, and probably other things like an air filter or things like that. He’s offered to sell it to me for around $500, and it has very low mileage. I don’t know how to tell if it would need a new piston and things like that because I’m not mechanically inclined. So, how do I tell if all it needs are little things that won’t cost more than a few hundred dollars? How do I tell if it can’t really be saved? All responses will be appreciated. Thanks

Okay, thank you very much for your reply. I agree I would not be able to fix anything mechanically besides replacing the carb and easy stuff like that. I was wondering if there are any good $800 atv’s around? I’m mainly interested in Yamaha’s, and I’ve seen some warriors that need a few things like tires but are like 8-900$. I know that has nothing to do with a grizzly but that’s the only other atv I’d probably consider. Thanks for any replies.
