Hey all, I am from MN, this year I have to keep the ATVs and RZR in a storage unit. There is no power for a tender unfortunately. I plan to do some riding over the winter. I am trying to decide if I should just take the batteries out, leave on tender and reinstall as I ride (kind of a pain), or just start them up every couple weeks (assuming the batteries make it that long without dieing.. lol)?
Bought this machine last year used (48 hours on the engine), and used it in deer camp. During the rifle season (November), it got cool enough to require choking the engine, and found out then the choke was inop. I was able to start the unit using starter fluid, and it ran fine through the end of the season.
Fast forward to this year, and the unit has only been run in warm (hot) weather conditions, requiring no choke. Me being the procrastinator that I am, I am going through the machine now (oil change, new battery, fix the choke cable) and found that the reason that the choke wasn’t working is that the plunger is rusted solid in the body of the carb, and it never was going to work! :pedro:
I removed the carb, and am puzzling – do I have to replace the whole darned carb, or can I drill it out, clean it up, and install a new choke cable?
I’ve googled the heck out this and can’t find where anyone has run into this before, and I’d prefer to to have to plop almost $400 down for a new carb. Any suggestions?

I have a couple parts I got with my XMR that I won’t use, looking to get rid of them. I would sell or trade them, I’m really looking for some rims and or tires, but will consider all offers.
I have a barely used HMF Swamp Series XL slip on, I also have a brand new Highlifter 2inch lift (the better one with the offset tie-rods.Let me know what you have, I’m in western MA and will consider shipping if needed. Thanks guys
Hi everyone. There is a rad protector (screen) on my 2002 700 sportsman. The lower part "pops" out, without the use of tools. Does anyone know if the top "pops" off or slides out without using tools? Thanks in advance.
