Dying Sportsman

Took the old buggy out yesterday for a ride, got about 1 mile out and it just flat out died during normal acceleration, no coughing, sputtering or belching, the engine just quit and it refused to start again. Is there a main fuse of circuit breaker that could of went bad ? Had a full tank of fresh gas and was running smooth although I thought it may have been idling a little high. The bike is a 2004 Sportsman 500 HO. I sure do need some help here, this is my first quad and not that familiar with them. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Christmas Good To Scrammy, But…

So I have an EPI Clutch and Big Gun Exhaust on order.
Once received the Scrammy will be making its way to the dealer for full service. While they have it, I will have them install a new belt for preventative maintenance. While they are in there I will have them install the clutch and silicone my belt housing to hopefully seal it up some from water.

My question is, since I am upgrading my clutch, is there a performance belt out there I should be running with the upgraded clutch or even just better than the oem belt?

I haven’t had any issues with the stock one but figure while it’s in for fluids why wait for a failure before replacing.

Quick Mount Pins Can-Am Plow

Where can I find some quick mount pins for the mounting plate for the Can-Am Plows? I’ve searched everywhere and came up with a couple links but they don’t list the specs of the pin. I bent a pin and lost the other yesterday plowing and I’d like to get a couple more. I’m saving the dealer for last resort because I’m sure the $3.00 pin is $49.95 from the dealer!

anyone with guru/snowplow combo?

ive got the guru brushguard on the front but i’m wanting to get a snowplow. i’ve got a lot of cement here and this beast 570 with tracks sitting in the trailer.

its taking me 90 minutes to do the drive with a 2 stage snow blower. and hey, it isn’t fun either. i’d probably drive the beast around the block and do everyones sidewalk just for the funsies.

thanks in advance for any and all advice about makes and models of snow plows and or mounting problems.
