I recently got a 2001 Sportsman 500 that had been flipped on its top while unloading it. It will start right up with no issue but after about a minute or 2 it shuts off like it ran out of gas or something. Anytime you put it in gear it shuts off. It has a lot of broken parts on the speedo and headlight assembly but I wouldnt think that would be the cause of it. What are some steps I should take considering it has been on its top and what could be causing it to shut off?

My buddy picked up an 03 600 that had a bad axel and Haden ran in 2 years. Got the axel fixed now there problems with it running.

At idle when you rev it up it it boogies out and chokes it self out past half throttle. Pull the choke out revs up perfect.

When riding it same thing. Runs up to about half throttle 35mph then starts choking out. Pull the choke out and you an run it up to 65 mph.

Anyone have any ide what this could be

Hey guys, new the to place here but here a couple weeks ago I got a very clean and nice 96 magnum 425 4×4. Took it on two good rides with a new battery soon as I got the wheeler. First ride went without a hitch, the second ride, lost all battery power. Turns out its not charging of course. So I dug on the good ol internet for testing. I read that the normal stator voltage is suppose to be 30-40v AC current from the stator, I get 230. and yes, 230v according to my meter (Snap On) that I use often during my day job of being a heavy diesel tech. I checked the trigger coil which is suppose to be 97 ohms, I get 103. all yellow wires are OL (no continuity) to ground and less than an ohm of resistance… batter voltage stays at 12.5 no matter the rpm. also during the second ride when I figured this out, It would slightly charge the battery for a little bit but then eventually nothing. If I reved it high enough, the 4wd worked. Now I have no charging from the bike itself and everything still works if I charge the battery with a tender. I also replaced the regulator just to eliminate it but I did get an ebay one. I did see 14.2v at the battery for 2 seconds at start up when I changed it then it went to 12.5. Can the stator over volt? such as my 230v reading, if that’s the case, It looks like I need a stator and another regulator. Thanks guys

Hey everyone,
I have a polaris xplorer 400 with no spark,
and I don’t know what to check.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

ok guys I have a 2000 325 magnum 2×4 and I had to buy a new lower sprocket for the crank for timing there is suppose to be a spacer but I don’t recall one there everything is nice and tight and seems to be in place can anyone help with that and when I put that back together is there anything to line up on the lower half for the timing I marked the stator plate like they told me to thanks for your time

Hey guys I own a 2013 Polaris sportsman 500 ho and the other day I notice that my low beem light was dead I was going to swap it out but notice that the wires are apart and the plug is still in the socket with wires on them the green and brown I believe so I’m wondering if you can buy the wire for the light or need to try and sauder the wires? Any ideas

ok my parent atv’s stator went out and wasnt charging the battery i replaced it and put a good battery in it i went to start it last night and it will crank over fine like it wants to fire but then it will stop and not do anything until you let off the key and try and start it again i have also hooked up a booster box to it to see if that was the issue is this a common problem or is their a wire that is commonly rubbed raw i should be looking for any help is appreciated thanks

whats the exact procedure for installing front brakes? I put new pads on, pump em up… run the set screw in but it bottoms out before the rotor gets tight… am I missing something? shouldn’t the rotor get tight then I back it off 1 full turn?

OK, I searched the "stickies" but did not come up with my particular situation.
I have an ’04 Sportsman 500 HO carb model that will not start due to no fuel at the carburetor.
It started, so I let it warm up while I was getting a trailer ready. Then it just quit and will not re-start.
First, I pulled the fuel supply hose from the carb, nothing. With the supply line off I turned the fuel shutoff valve on/off/on several times, nothing. With the fuel supply line off I turned the ignition on and cranked over the engine, nothing. No fuel at the supply line under any condition.
Checked the fuel filter by removing and blowing air through it, air passes through without issue.
Removed the fuel line from the shutoff valve, plenty of fuel from the tank, no issue here.
Removed the fuel shutoff valve, it works as it should.
Removed the vacuum line from the carb to the fuel pump. No cracks, splits were found, hose looks good.
So, I’m down to the fuel pump right? I removed the fuel pump and I can blow/suck on the vacuum line and hear the pump making a noise like it is opening/closing.
So why am I not getting fuel to the carb? Am I on the right track? Do I need a new pump or can they be rebuilt?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
