Compatible Models

We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.

Compatible equipment / model
  • Yamaha Big Bear 350 YFM350 4x4 1997
  • Yamaha Big Bear 350 YFM350 4x4 1998

Product Overview

A Big Bear that has sat with old fuel can develop hard starting, a hanging idle, hesitation, or fuel overflow when tiny carburetor passages and the float valve become damaged or blocked. This replacement restores a complete metering body for the specific late-1990s YFM350 application after the tank, petcock, intake boot, and ignition have been checked.

This makes it a practical choice when diagnosis points to the original component rather than a related system fault. Do not rely on the Big Bear 350 name alone; match year, 4x4 configuration, 4WU reference, cable ends, and intake dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this fit every Yamaha Big Bear 350? A: No. This listing targets 1997-1998 4x4 models using 4WU-14901-20-00.

Q: Can a cracked intake boot cause a lean idle? A: Yes. An intake leak can make a good carburetor run poorly.

Q: Why replace instead of clean? A: Replacement is useful when corrosion, stripped threads, worn bores, or damaged components make rebuilding unreliable.
