Polaris 570 Engine Braking System

Last year I purchased a 2015 Polaris 570. It does not have an engine braking system. I’m very satisfied with the machine. I recently purchased a 2016 Polaris 570 that comes with the EBS Engine Braking System. My first ride was a 42 mile loop in an Idaho mountain area. I was very disappointed with the braking system. It locked the wheels on the downhills. I am 66 years old and have ridden motorcycles and ATV’s my entire life. I raced moto-cross in my younger years. I would consider the Engine Braking System on the 570’s to be dangerous for someone with limited ATV experience. I have returned the 570 to the dealer, and am waiting a reply from the factory. Hopefully, something can be done to disable the EBS.

87 Trx200sx won’t start

Trying to get my old 200SX running again. Ran a few years back and then wouldn’t start. Just disassembled and cleaned the carb. Poked all the holes out with welding tip cleaners and blew out with air. Reassembled and it won’t start. I am getting gas, as it overflows out the drain tube. Tried starter fluid and it will start on that, but doesn’t seem to be getting gas in the cylinder.

Took carb back apart and recleaned the seat and needle. Also carb cleaner in all the nooks n crannies again. Back on and still same.

3rd times got to be the charm.. nope still overflows. Spark plug is dry, gas overflows and drains out bottom.

Carb is currently apart again. I blow in the gas inlet hose and is clear, raise up on the float and valve works as it should. I can’t seem to find the problem between gas in carb and gas getting in the cylinder to go boom! If the float valve isn’t seating and allowing the overflow, wouldn’t it still have gas to start? Any help appreciated.
