I want something like this so I can bring the wife or one of the kids along. I need to find me a wood hauler sooner or later. (rode hard) Tuff to beat a Honda or a Polaris. Just be sure you don't get one you get stuck having to put some money in. It would haul some wood for ya, but I think you would be much happier with 4 wheel drive. You can opt for a pair of chains for the rear wheels if things get a little slippery.

If you can do all your hauling when things are dry and no snow, it would probably work fine. Ya, 4x4 is the way to go if you want to do any hauling in wet or snow conditions. I would suggest an ATV with a trailer (Usually can be had for $100 - $500) as an ATV suspension can only handle so much. I am wondering if this guy is having you pay extra because it is 'rare'. It is a early 90's 4X4 Yamaha Timberwolf 250. I just bought a 'farm beater' atv last summer. My opinion is that is a little high for a late 80's ATV (If it is that old). Newer ATV's have independent long travel suspension and CVT transmissions for trail ease. Keep the fluids full and fresh and you are OK. This simple design didnt leave much to go wrong.

Most were simple air cooled, single cylinder motors with manual transmissions. If it is a late 80's machine as i suspect, they were pretty durable. For example.if it used a Yamaha MOTO-4 platform then most parts from that would fit the pro-hauler.

Any ideas as to what that would be? Maybe the needle needs to be re-positioned, maybe the float it off.Research 1989 Yamaha YFU1W Pro Hauler standard equipment and specifications at NADAguides.Īt least then you would know you could find parts. I think something is out of adjustment in the carb. I do not want to use starting fluid anymore because I should not have to. Since then I have tried a few times to start it with no luck. It ran on choke for a few moments but that was it. The very next day I went out to use it and it would not start for anything. I have zero complaints about how it ran that day. Got this old ATV a couple months ago and after 2 years of sitting in Texas, I got it up and running here in Colorado This thing runs great and has some of th. I would even shut it down for up to an hour and it would start again as soon as I touched the button. I sprayed a quick squirt of starting fluid and it started up and ran great. When I went out to use it was hard to start again. I stuck it in the shed and left it alone for a few weeks. After some work I found out is had a torn intake.

A while back I had some issues with my 1989 Yamaha Pro-hauler not starting.
