I had my own ATV repair business. I worked a a guy Yamaha with an intermittent problem for about 8 hours. I was stumped and told him he had better take it to the dealer. He picked it up and I said no charge, if I can't fix it you don't pay. He was extremely happy. The Yamaha shop said it needed a new carb. He called to confirm. I said there is absolutely no problem with the carb. Dealer insisted it was and he let them put one on. You can guess that didn't fix it. $600 and would not take carb back because it had gas run through it! He wanted to bring it back to me. Reluctantly I did so. To my surprise it stopped working when he brought it back. Was the stator. I charged for the part and 1 1/2 hours at $40 an hour. I treat folks like I like to be treated.
