2001 Sportsman AWD switch

I recently purchased a 2001 Sportsman 500 HO. The speedo was inop so no AWD. I did the bypass using the brown/white wire from the speedo to ground and nothing. I then tried the bypass using the thin brown wires under the hood and still nothing. Is there a way to test the switch to see if it’s connecting? Thanks in advance for any help.

Need Help!

I need help with a 7 digit vin #3205541 and a date # 01-12696. I think the date is pretty much explanatory for Dec 6, 1996. So I’m pretty sure that means it’s a 97′ model. Correct? Is there any other information associated w this VIN? Thanks in advance! Polaris 300 express 2 stroke.

Riding questions about Colorado!

Hello everyone, me and the ole lady are going to Colorado in a couple weeks (Nov, 19 through Nov, 22) and I was wondering about weather this time of year should I pack super heavy or should I just wait till about June to come up with the four wheeler? we’re from Oklahoma so we really don’t know if we should bring the four wheeler or not. I got a new jet for higher altitude. I really just don’t know what I’m getting myself into! We’re staying in Breckinridge. And thought about riding the Golden Horseshoe trail system Thoughts and opinions from all of who have been or live there would be great!!

Carb problems

It ran ok before rebuild but I had to and change petcock to stop gas leak and gas in oil. Now, with stock settings it starts great, isles but sputters and dies as soon as give it gas. Taken it apart several times to blow it out and recheck but can’t get it to run. Diaphragm looks good! One question, can I run it not connected to airbox to more easily get to air mixture screw and take on an off more quickly
