if you guys have pictures please post them. also, can you guys show me pictures of where you had to cut into the Plastics on the Left side.

Thank you,

Front Fog LEDs

At the beginning of the year I put on two LED fog lights, red and black leads to both. switch that came with the lights were a 3 terminal simple on off (just not weather proof). 1 terminal red, 1 black, 1 blue. I just replaced the switch for a waterproof switch. the switch has 4 terminals, 2 each side. I wired the black and red leads and I see power coming on as a circuit on the lit fuse in the on position. but lights not coming on. I have no idea which part to put the blue wire on. Not sure if I need the blue wire on the switch. As far as I know the blue wire powered the light on the switch itself, but that won’t come on, on this switch either. I can give pictures of the switch, wiring and whatever else as needed for the help.

Snorkel spa flex, and radiator flex hose?

Snorkel spa flex hose or radiator flex hose. I can get the spa flex hose at lowes. Where are you guys getting the radiator flex hose, it looks like radiator hose anyways. I know autozone and places carry short pieces about2 feet or so. Where can I get the radiator looking hose in long lengths that people are using to make snorkels?
I like the radiator hose because it should hold up to the engine heat better.

storage, carb drain procedure?

I have a 500 Big Boss and don’t plan to use it for a few months. Planning to drain the carb but cannot even easily see it. Assume it is right under the gas tank. How big of a deal is it to get to the carb to open the drain screw for long term storage. . .?? pics, process to do so??

chain tension

Just bought my first 4 wheeler. Its a 1996 sportsman 400 2 stroke.
Noticed the chain is pretty loose. Need a little advice on how to tighten it. No manual for the wheeler so I don’t know where to start.

Thanks

Red wire from voltage regulator

New here! Just purchased a 2000 Sportsman 335 that needs a little bit of work. Has a brand new battery that was reading 11v when at idle. Turned out the stator was done and 2 of the yellow wires had melted against the exhausts. Put a new stator in and all 3 yellow wires have the right voltage now, but the battery still isn’t charging. I noticed the red wire from the regulator was not hooked to anything and looked capped off. From looking at diagrams it appears it’s the only link to the battery from the regulator. What exactly is the connection point for the red wire?
