Does the Yamaha Kodiak 450 have power steering?

Is there a problem with my Kodiak 450?
I have a 2003 Kodiak 450 that i purchased a while back with around 300 hours on it. It has never ran right from the beginning. Initially i thought it was just a carburetor issue because it was all clogged up from sitting for months. It has been cleaned, rebuilt, and taken off probably about 10 times troubleshooting this problem.
What kind of engine does a Yamaha Kodiac have?
This fuel-injected 708cc engine has dual overhead cams and utilizes a Mikuni 44mm throttle body to produce plenty of torque on the low end for towing and climbing.

Are there carb rebuild kits for Yamaha Kodiak 450?
Yamaha didn’t offer carb rebuild kits, just individual parts I believe….they’re expensive but usually worth it! Sounds like you may have a problem with the needle & nozzle alright. That would explain the over fueling and also why the adjustment screw doesn’t do much.
Why does my Yamaha Kodiak have no spark?
The main switch on the handlebars is a negative switch, so would be no power for the on/off or start button. The cdi box is brand new and it does not have 12 volt power (red wire) going to it. I thought it would get DC current from the pickup or stator could but i am not reading any, and thats with the old stator and the new rm stator.
Is the Kodiak 700 sealed or not sealed?
As for the 450 vs 700, yes, the 700 is sealed, but the 450 does have fittings for and the manual does say to regularly utilize the grease fittings. None of the manuals say how much, I just didn’t want to blow a seal.
Is the Kodiak 400 CVT the same generation as the ATV?
Mite be wrong but I don’t think this atv is at all the same generation as yours. This is the old Gen air cooled, 5 speed 400 kodiak, and not the later Gen liquid cooled cvt 400 kodiaks. That is where I am doing a lot of guessing but the function of getting a spark should be generally the same.
How to troubleshoot a Yamaha Kodiak 450 ignition system?
Purchase an in-line spark tester and throw it on to see how your spark is doing. Last thing is your pick up coil gap. Take a look at that and see what the spec is in the manual. Check the gap you have and compare the two. Oh gosh. This is homework for me. Never really caught on to the electrical side of atvs..
