$1000 No Spark Yamaha Grizzly 600 4x4, Abandoned for Years...

Bought this 2000 Yamaha Grizzly 600 4x4 from a friend for the $1000 that he had into it. The loss of spark was due to an opened CDI pulse generator which I already replaced. After some diagnostics I found that the electrical problems ran much deeper. So, I drove it up onto the hill where it has sat abandoned for the last few years. In this video, we will revive the engine and give it an old start/cold start and will take a quick inventory to see what is missing. My plan is to turn this old monster into a daily rider utility quad.

Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Once again another start. I would have to agree that when they're incomplete, bid low and be prepared to walk away. If they want more, let somebody else deal with the parts scrounging, shipping charges and nonsense involved with a machine with no interest on the current market. Years ago I picked one up in good running condition for $1100, cleaned it, painted the racks and put on a new seat cover. Got $1400 after I was done. Nothing but practice for the future. Soon Harvey.

You are getting me motivated to work on mine again. I finally got a whole other wiring harness for mine but haven’t put it on yet. Had to walk away from it for a bit. The 2 main problems with mine was it would instantly over heat just idling for like 5 min. The second thing was even when I would turn the key off it stay running. The harness was a mess though so I’m hoping putting on the better harness will fix it but not sure on the over heating part of it. It’s identical to your machine though.

Nice machine. I have one of those. My neighbor sold it to me for $200. I got it running but it has been sitting about a year now. It has 10,000 miles on it. If I use a 4 wheeler I generally use my Honda rancher 420 that one has about 230 hours on it.

I have the 1998 grizzly 600. Great machine!

Nice job. Did you happen to check for oil off-camera before starting it?

[@eastcoaststoner3464]

Try taking the hose off the carburetor it looks like it hooked up to the engine vent and it will suck in oil to the carburetor.
They need separate vents
It's on the Ir box diagram not not the carburetor diagram something to look Into

Ive seen plenty of yamahas after being flipped or tipped I guess oil submerging the pickup kills them. But yeah these things are heavyyyyyy buddy of mine had one and it died on him in the woods. We had to drag it back up hill with my suzuki 500 spinning the whole way with 3 of us on my suzuki for more weight and traction. He sold it not running, but knowing what I know now I would have liked to see what was wrong with it. It was impossible to pull start. Too much compression. Starter motor couldnt even turn it over with an atv battery, had to use a running car. Was very odd. Had really good power tho when it did run. Main issue we kept having were with aftermarket carbs cause the original carb the float was broken.

[@eastcoaststoner3464]

So I have the same peice of crap please send me parts lol I love to hate this thing. Lol
