Default 03 Yamaha Wolverine 350 4x4 four wheeler quits.

After riding my Wolverine for a few minutes. It dies. Like it's out of gas. Let it sit few minutes. Fires right back up. Will sit and idle forever. Put in gear and only runs a few minutes.

Lots of posts on here from people with similar problems. First change the plug, could just be a faulty plug. Next check the fuel cap is letting air in, slacken it off when the fault occurs and, if that cures it, you have a cap air vent problem. Next check the fuel flow to the carb, a dribble indicates a blocked filter, usually attached to the tap on ATVs with carbs. If fuel flow is OK, check the plug colour, black and sooty indicates either choke sticking on slightly, blocked air filter, wrong jets, or an electrical fault, most often stator "power coil" for CDI or trigger coil for CDI as they get hot fastest, being inside the engine, but ignition coil or CDI could also be the culprit. If it gets to you thinking an electrical fault, get the workshop manual and do the ignition circuit tests, preferably when the fault is on, Tricky I know, but so many on here throw expensive ignition parts at a bike, then ask what the problem could be.

Thank you. Yeah I saw other questions asked like these. But they went on and on. You went straight and told what all it could be. Thanks again. As soon as it warms up a little more today. I'm gonna try the things you suggested. 👍
