I have a 99 Yamaha Warrior 350 and i am needing to take it and get the valves adjusted. I know prices will range from state to state but what would be the average price to take and get them adjusted?? Just the valves not including if they had to change the seals or anything.. Thanks(PS im a girl so put it in simple words!)
The mechanics charge about $40. But, you can learn to do it yourself it is easy. Just loosen the outer nut. Turn the center one til it touches. Then back it off 1/8th of a turn. Then while holding the center one tighten the outer nut. Then your done with that valve, and repeat for however many valves you have.
The link below shows what the valves are. The adjustment to them requires loosening #13, and then turning #12 such that the valves #1 2 are within the proper specification. To do this requires disassembly, then measurement and adjustment, and finally reassembly. This can range from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on various reasons. So, estimate 3 x [Labor Rate], whereas [Labor Rate]s vary from shop to shop, and I've seen from $65 to $120.
Did it run OK before changing the pipe jet? Install the stock parts to see if that clears up the problem. The jetting or needle height might be incorrect. Inspect the air cleaner. Contact me for a carburetor adjustment guide.
