I have a Yamaha 1990 Yamaha SRV 540. It wasn't running well last year when we put it away. So what it would do is, it would run doggy. Only every once in a while. I am positive that it is electrical problems, like a short. Because in past years we put a new carb, new lines, fuel pump, fuel filter. And last year it wasn't running good at all would hardly run, it would idle perfect. It would just bog out when you would try to drive it. So i put a new IGNITION COIL, and caps. It ran like brand new. I drove it like 6 miles and it just died. So i put a new coil on it and it ran good again for a while, then it would run crappy again. So the problem is in the electrical somewhere. Any help would be much appreciated.

I wouldnt count the electrical out, but we had mny SRV's through out the years the one main reacurring problem was the Pipe. the guts would rot out and clog the insides. take your pipe of an shake it, if you hear any thing, you have a problem. it may be as simple as cutting it open and removing what ever is loose in there. I know they are a lot of stupd baffles and dumb little rount plates in there. than in the after muffler the guts in there are junk to. i would just remove that all together if possible.
