No, that is normal for a motorcycle or quad engine. The pressure wave bouncing back and forth up the intake channel are often supersonic. It is normal to see a small cloud of vapor form there.

Is this like a poor design by Yamaha? It seems designed to not be worked on at all. And, to be able to work on it you have to devote so much time, if you were a repair shop, it would be cost prohibitive. Just tell the customer, 'buy a new one'.

Really enjoyed seeing this quad come back to life! The front winch and push bar fabrication turned out great and much stronger than before! It amazes me how people give up on a vehicle and write it off when it just needs a little love. Wish I didn’t live on the opposite side of the country, you would have loads of video content with bringing my 1950 CJ3a that was left in a yard for 40 years back to life.

How do I know this? Yup, I actually did it and they fixed my impact gun FREE of charge. It was amazing!!

Use a spray bottle with soapy water [or water with a little vinegar{diluted Simple Green}] to moisten the radiator dirt before blowing it with the airgun. This will clean the fins and also prevent the dust from flying all over the place.

His self depreciating humor when he screws up like on the carb is a big part of why I can't wait for the next episode each week. His wife should be one happy lady when she takes her first turn riding it out in the sticks.

If you weld ends on the brushguard that go rearward [or forwards] 4 inches that will help you edge through tighter areas than just open ends without catching onto what you hit. Like the inverse of a bull's horns [more like what a ram's horns are]. Mountain bikers put them on their handlebars and it prevents serious crashes.

Being able to shift out of 4x4 is most important when climbing a hill if you don't make it up you need to be able to gun it and turn around and come back down the hill going forward, coming down backwards is not good. I had to educate the ATV trainer that in 4x4 you can't do that it will just turn and shoot across the hill sideways. He said all ATV's will spin around so I told him to show me on my quad the new Honda 300 with full time 4x4 so he did and he couldn't do it. He tried 3 times and shot across sideways every time. I got rid of the Honda as soon as Yamaha came out with the Grizzly, I bought the first one my Yamaha shop got in and never looked back.

Turned out there was a little fork that held in the seat for the needle and seat that was a hare bent allowing the seat to drop enough to starve it of fuel temporarily, then the bowl would fill again. I know yours isn't that, but funny little issue that was hard to find. Love your stuff.
