This is the puller you need. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/FLYWHEEL-PUL...t=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item5894c78730
It's a 35mm, right hand thread, female..
I'm sure some mechanic in your town would have one???
Is there a Yamaha dealership, or a motorcycle mechanic close to you?
A bike mechanic would definitely have one, but a dealership should have one 2..

It sucks dude.. But you need that puller to get the magneto off, if you try a different puller you could damage the magnets in the magneto.
Then you'd have to replace it to.
Just have some patience, you'll get it figured out. :iagree:

persistence is the key....finally found a shop that let me borrow one...gonna replace it tonighthopefully it will run
:tup:
I'll get that shipping quote for you soon BTW.. It's just so fack'n hot up here I don't wanna go anywhere, or do anything..
But I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be more than $20 though?

It looks like it had something spilled all over it...
Was there much smoke coming out of the exhaust???
I would just take some time cleaning the motor up with some dish soap, and some water (brakeclean works good on real greasy stuff).. Maybe a good small scrub brush.. Rinse it off really well before you start it again, then see what happens?
It would also be good to clean everything so you could look for possible oil leaks..

Ok just watched it a few times... It seems like it's coming from the bottom of the jug??
That might mean that gasket is pooched, but retorquing the head bolts might help?
If not you might have to do the gaskets in it..

Do you have a torque wrench?
It's not hard just time consuming, to replace all the gaskets..
But if your gonna do that you might as well rebuilt the whole topend. (piston, rings, and cam. The timing chain, and rockers, valves, and springs) You would have to take it all apart anyway...
But you could also just pull the jug, and replace the bottom gasket (and head gasket). Then put it back together?
I would first try giving the head bolts a quick retorque before you get worried. (29ft lbs)
You should also invest in a Clymer manual.

It's got all the good info that you would need on repairing a project quad like yours..

Not really.. Like I said before, just making sure the head has proper torque on it might solve your problem??
But you can get complete gasket kits pretty cheap.
One thing for sure.. If you gotta pull the jug, it's gonna cost you something. lol
(Even if you just buy the base, and head gaskets)
Like on the cheap, I bet you'll find it at least needs to be honed. Then you might as well put a new piston, and rings in it. A new timing chain (cam chain) wouldn't hurt either..
But you don't really need to mess with the head unless you have a problem. It sounded like it was running pretty good..
I don't really know what else to tell yah???
