no run at w.o.t.

have a 1999 explorer 400, sputters and won’t run at w.o.t., good idle thru most of mid-range. replaced cdi box, same thing, replaced and adjusted carb, same thing. Seems to be carb, any adj. makes it worse. seems to be running to rich wide open. Any suggestions or similar problems?

Front brake sticking

I’ve joined the forum because my father owns a 2000 Yamaha Kodiak and has lots of questions. He’s 67 and doesn’t like using the internets so he’s asked for my help. This seems like a good forum to be a part of 🙂

Recently, he’s had a problem with the front brake lever sticking when he squeezes it to stop. The brakes themselves work fine, but they won’t release on their own. If he pushes the bake lever forward to disengage the bakes, all goes back to normal.

I’ve used the search function but only come up with stuff where the brakes don’t stop the bike. Where do I start looking to diagnose this issue?

Hello all, from my dad!

Thanks again for the help
