I’ve been having trouble starting it and figured it was the battery since its bad, but once I charged it up and got it going it wants to die when it idles lower. When I was going to park I looked behind me and saw a cloud of white smoke so I shut it off right away. There is some oil in the back of th carb and some on the big black tube thing that attaches to the carb.. tht must b bad.. blown head gasket or worn rings?

2000 sportsman 500 radiator relocation kit
Hey all, Im still in the market for rad relocate kit for my 00 sp500. I cant seem to locate anyone who carries a kit for my year quad though. Does anyone know where I might be able to get my hands on one?
They make them for 05 and up, so im also wondering if one could be modified to fit my 00, and how different 00 and 05 are when it comes to the radiator
thanks!!!
2016 winch and plow set up
Here’s a look at my plow set up. All new , had to install to make sure everything functioned properly.
What set up are you guys using for the winch cable to your plow. I saw two different set ups for the winch cable.

Anyone ever used Dunlop KT511 and KT515 radial tires?
Has anyone run the KT511 and KT515 radial tires? They are 13 and 17 lbs like the bias ply originals, (KT411 and KT415) but 4 ply rated and radial construction.

clutch cleaning
This is probably already been discussed but I could not find anywhere. After cleaning clutches does anyone silcone or anything like that before replacing the clutch cover or added protection?
Camshaft decompresion question
I am pretty sure I have narrowed my hard start down to the decompression switch on the cam. It seems it doesn’t work as smoothly as it should. Can anybody shed some light on exactly how the switch should work and feel? The shop manual isn’t as clear as I need.
Polaris clutch
I have had lots of ATVs but my 15 1000 Scrambler is the jerkiest one that I have had in many years and after ridding with few Polaris’s they all seem to jump in reverse. Its bad because I had some QSC clutches on my Can Am that were smooth . So has any one had any QSC kits in their 1000s Scrambler or Sportsman and if they did it stop the hard engagement .
