Warn Snow Plow

Has anyone ever installed the Warn Universal Mid Mount for a snow plow on their sportsman? I have a 2010 800 and I recently purchased a 54" Warn snow plow and the mid mount universal and the instructions don’t look to helpful.

Tires

So my question is this. I am going to put Kendra Bear Claw HTR on my rig. 26/14/11 on the rear. Would it make it drive odd if I started with the just the back tires? The fronts are 26/14’s stockers.

2000 sportsman 500 50″ Denali plow system mounting questions

Hi there! I just received my Denali 50" plow I ordered from Acme Tool Co. . Got it put together and it looked to be great quality!! Appreciate that. However, the mounting bracket for my quad has me puzzled.

First off, one of the Square Uolts broke when I was tightening it at 15 lbs of torque… Weak part? I was wondering how I could get another to replace it.

Secondly, on the mounting bracket again, the right side (opposite of the trus bracket) there are two holes that line up with the larger holes on the skid plate. How do I bolt this side of the bracket to the skid plate? The only hardware I have left are two bolts with locking nuts and a washer that’s too small for those skid plate holes. . Shouldn’t there be another bracket of some sort similar to the trus bracket for the other side that mounts from the top? Otherwise it seems that the only right sided support will be that of the Square u-bolt (the one that broke). Am I missing something?

2000 Polaris sportsman 500 leaking gas

So my sportsman was parked for a couple days after riding. I noticed my garage reakes of gas fumes. When I took a closer look, I noticed gas on the skid plate. What is happening is the small tube coming from the bottom of the carb (overflow tube maybe) is letting out a few drops of gas every few minutes. Does anyone have a diagnosis and/solution?

Starter spinning

Piss me off or what. It was purchased from Polaris on Sept. 21. Installed by a top notch mechanic but not an official Polaris mechanic. It worked great until a week ago. Spun out. Tried again and it engaged. This started happening more often so when doing something away from the machine it was left idling. Today, no way Jose. Any ideas? Or just Chinese junk?
