Sportsman dies randomly with headlights on
50 hrs 600 miles
I’m supposed to be going on a big trip here soon and my machine just did the random die again and my thought is that it is only when the headlights are on and I go over a big obstacle. Just randomly dies like I turned the key off but the key is still on, turn it off and it starts right back up. I’ve read a few forums about this and didn’t get any good answers. The machine is practically new and I’m not very hard on it. I’m quite sure it’s electrical but I don’t know much about electrical. What do you guys think? I’m going to lose my mind if this thing just dies in the middle of my vacation. I’ve changed the oil and air filter once. And it had a new gas tank put in because of a leak the first six months I had it. It has a dealer installed polaris 2500 winch.

What th hell is this pat?
Anywho, this "part" that the lines go to has about 6 screws that secure a plate which I decided to unscrew just to figure out what the hell this thing was, has some sort of clear membrane under the plate. This "membrane" separates one of the fuel lines that goes to the carb (there are 2 that go to the carb btw) and there is no fuel in that line. That line is BONE dry. The other line that comes from this contraption flows fuel but the outlet for that line is on the other side of the membrane. What the hell is this membrane and fuel line for if there is no fuel getting past it? Is this some sort of semi-permeable filtration membrane or what? Please help!!! Every other small engine I have worked on is straight forward with a single line coming from the tank that goes through a shut-off valve, through a in-line filter and to the carb. WTF is Polaris’s deal with all this other mumbo-jumbo?
Thanks!
