I’ve been lurking here for a while and have picked up a lot of tips.
Thanks to all for the help!

Will be posting another new thread shortly for an issue I have not found an answer to….yet.

Jim

1986 Honda 350 Fourtrax ran out of fuel going uphill. switched to res on the switch and would not ever pickup the fuel.
Could see some fuel in the tank and I got the cycle to flat ground so as cycle was level and set the switch to ON and she fired up after bit with full choke and I got uphill fast to the house.

I filled the tank and then later switched the petcock to OFF and the cycle would not ever run out of gas when engine was running slow or fast, would kinda hesitate little bit at high speed. Never tested the reserve setting.

I only looked at the assembly on a parts list 16950 HA7 671 might be the correct part number?

Wonder why it would never pick up the reserve or was it maybe also running off the reserve portion of the tank when set to ON?? (I could see gas in the bottom of the tank and it never would pick it up when the lever was switched to reserve???? I don’t see any leaks when the tank is full.

I have not removed any plastic from around the switch or inspected anything, just know that the petcock per using the lever is not turning off the fuel when set to off and would not pickup a reserve fuel supply????

Any ideas???? (like time for new petcock assembly or are they repairable with replacement o rings etc???)
and is this a common problem with these machines and should it just be ignored and keep the tank level adjusted before it gets low, etc????

Just wondering what setting on the shock preload most are running. My 2016 HD10 XT was set on the softest setting. I’m thinking about changing to the middle setting atleast. Thanks

Just installed a voltage meter in the absent choke plug. It fit perfectly!

I have a 2011 outlander 650 max xt. the other day I was down the fire station and was looking at our engine and seen the external battery post on it in case it needs jumped. And that got me thinkin.

Anyone every think of doing this to a 2011 outlander? Because getting to that betters sucks if you need to jump it. And would be nice for a tender too.

Alright guys, we got a ’14 570. Has the Polaris winch with the gigantic bracket which completely blocks the fill plug for the front diff. Is it just the ’14’s that you have to take the whole dam winch out to service? Is it just the Polaris one that blocks the plug? Has anyone changed something to make it easier to service?

Right now I think I’m going to get a new plug, drill it through and tap it 1/8 NPT to put a fitting and run a line up to the front box. Then just measure out fluid from now on. Still can’t believe the service of the diff was blocked by they winch plate.

I am in the process of rebuilding the bottom end on my scrambler 400 and I have the cases split and everything removed. I just can’t figure out how to remove the counterbalance bearing that is in the case, there is no way to press in out from the reverse side. Any ideas?

Does anyone have or recommend an outdoor cover for my 2004 Sportsman? I won’t always be able to keep it in the garage so I’d like a good sturdy cover for when it needs to sit outside.
