New Rancher 420 dies in gear

I just bought a 2016 rancher 420 yesterday. It’s got about 5 hours on it. When it’s cold I have no issues at all. When warm it runs perfect, except for one thing. When I’m slowing down to a stop. Dropping it through the gears. If I leave it in 1st or 2nd when I come to a complete stop. The idle gets slower and slower and slower till it dies. Takes about 5 to10 seconds from stop to engine dying. Then after it dies it a little hard starting. It’s not hard starting at any other time. Just after it dies. If I kick it into neutral just before I come to a stop, most of the time it won’t die just idle really slow for a moment then come back up to normal idle speed. But sometimes it will die even in neutral. But it dont always do it. Totally intermittent. Dealer said it just needs time for the computer to self learn and it will fix itself. Anyone had this problem or have any idea what the issue is.

1995 Polaris CDI Issue

Hi all. I have a ’95 Polaris 300 4×4. I had to swap out the CDI unit because I fried it installing a new ignition switch (had wiring backwards). When I was messing with the ignition switch, I am pretty sure i fried the CDI unit because once I finally had the switch wired correctly, i couldn’t get my atv to start. It would turn over but never would start. I have a junker ’92 Polaris Trail Boss 250, and I put that CDI unit on it, and boom it started right away. However, when driving it, it won’t let me rev it up. The rpms fluctuate and don’t let me open it up. Would this be because I put the CDI from the Trail Boss in it? I did find out that the OEM # for the CDI in mine vs the Trail Boss is different, but would that really make the difference? When I drive my atv, it does have a blue smoke coming out and like I said it won’t let me really rev it up. Thoughts?

Fuel Pump Issue??

So quick info, on my 2011 outlander max 800 its been rough starting at times and even hot starting its been stubborn, got no codes and it sputts and stalls once in a while. We had it up in the mountains last weekend and it lost power, it would idle but not pick up unless I pumped the throttle, it would go for 10 secs and loose power, pump the throttle and it would go, I performed this for 5 miles and got it back to camp. It still starts but its sometimes unhappy lol. I am thinking fuel pump???:th_smiliepullhair:

2004 Outlander 330/400 Front CV Axle Issue

Hello,

I have a 2004 Outlander 330 4×4. I need to replace my right front CV Axle, as it is missing. I would like to buy a used replacement if possible. My question is this – Is there a difference between the left and right CV axles on these machines? Is one longer than the other? The part numbers are different. Can you install a left into the right side? I am having a hard time finding a right side axle, but have found multiple left side axles. Left is part #705400350, right is #705400349. Any sources for salvage units would be appreciated as well. Thank
