Sprotsman 400 won’t start off key only with pull cord
I have a 2005 sportsman 400 which will start great with the pull cord (usually only 2 pulls) BUT will not start with the key. It will turn over & over & over but not a kick off the key. Pull the cord and BOOM! away she goes!!??
Any ideas???

“Check Engine” something is wrong, need help.
I Let it rest for awhile thinking it was just overheating. Started it up and it ran great again for a long time. Then it started having a hard time idling. It would stall if I let me thumb off the throttle completely. No big deal because it was still running great at speed and the check engine light wasn’t on. Surprisingly at the next stop the cooling fan was turning on again. Figured all was good again minus the rough idle.
Rode a bit longer and then the check engine light came on again. This time it was starting to spit and sputter, had major power loss, would stall at anything less than 1800-2000 rpm, cooling fan was only working here and there and it would not engage into 4 wheel drive.
By the end of the day I was just burin it back to the truck and it wasn’t easy. I cleaned it and started it up today. Sounded prefect, no check engine light, 4 wheel drive was engaging and it seemed to be idling ok. Decided to go for a ace ride to see what happened. Ran perfect for about 20 min before all the Same symptoms came back.
The check engine light is so vague and the symptoms so sporadic I don’t know where to begin. I checked all the fluids and everything looked good.
I like tinker on stuff myself but Where do I begin? Or is the answer to just take it to the shops.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice here.

2010 Trail Blazer oil cooler fan questions
New guy here.
Just bought a 2010 330 Trail Blazer for my daughter.
Very low mile ATV, everything looks stock, undamaged and unmodified.
She was riding today in our woods and the high temp light came on.
I noticed I didn’t hear the oil cooler fan running.
Let the ATV cool down, started it up(no high temp light) and after about 15 minutes of riding the light was back on, no fan running that I could hear.
I’m new to these, should the fan come on with the light or before.
I pulled the plug on the thermistor? and jumped 1 and 3 wires, the high temp light came on the dash but no cooling fan running.
Fan is plugged in to harness.
Where to check next?
Is there a fuse or breaker for the fan? Where?
Anything else to check?
Thanks.

2006 Sportsman 700 Issues
My 2006 Sportsman 700 is New to me.
I have a list questions regarding some issues I am having.
1. When I turn on the key, the Check Engine is displayed. Once I start it. Check Engine not displayed. Is this normal?
2. What does flashing Battery symbol indicate? (If lights are on, the Speedometer needle also flashes)
3. If I throttle down quickly, I hear a ‘clicking’ sound as the quad decelerates. Same clicking if the throttle is at idle, and I am going down a hill.
4. What is a ‘wrench’ displayed indicate?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.
