Help identifying part for replacement

Wires disconnected from this connector and no way to rewire the female end of connector. My local polaris dealer is clueless. Can’t find the part on polaris’ parts site schematics. This is under the seat at the front end – bottom of the picture as you see it is front end of the seat. The disconnected wires are there on the grey connector. Any idea about a part number?

1986 Wiring issues – Don’t know where some wires go, no spark/neutral light

Hi,

I have a rough 1986 trx350. I’ve had to do a lot of work to it, but eventually I got it running. It sat outside for months and would start right up with a remote tank. Then I found a tank for it, so I mounted it and figured I’d be riding it within the hour….I was wrong.

First I’ll note the ignition is gone so I just have had the red and black jumped when I want it on. It’s fugly, so I’m not really worried about it getting stolen. Going to get a good oem key and ignition for it soon.

Anyways, after installing the tank I realized the petcock was no good. Figures that would have been too easy. So I drop the suction end into the top of tank and attach to the carb. Fuel line was a little big so it spilled a little gas from the carb. It caught on fire.

It burned some of the 14 wires between the stator, 7 from harness, and the neutral/oil temp wires. Now I’m not sure where they even go so I can reattach and replace the affection sections of wire.

The service manual .pdf wiring diagram left me even more confused. It’s small blurry and not in color. I also can’t tell what color the wires I have are supposed to be called to located in the wiring diagram.

My main questions:

1. Is the green stator wire supposed to be hooked to the harness or where it’s currently hooked (one of the 4 from the neutral switch area)? I put it that way as those are the only greens with a little indicator ‘tube’ on it.

2. What color is the white or grey with a male end supposed to be? And the white with red striped, maybe light green?

I know the blue/yellow goes to blue/yellow, same for the red/black to red/black. But I’m not sure about the two in question. Everytime I guess and assemble, those are the two questionable ones as nothing else matches their color. I did manage to assemble them via guesswork and get a neutral light ONLY when jumping the solenoid.

Fuses all look good.

The fire was just under the carb and you can see there’s maybe 3 or 4 that really got affected. The harness looks fine. I doubt the stator suddenly went out or the cdi did that easily.

Immediately after the fire the neutral light worked and I could turn it over, but that’s when I realized I had lost spark. After testing for spark, the neutral light was gone.

I’m new to using multimeters, but willing to learn. I’d just like to find where these all go so i can have them correct and replace the sections affected by fire.

Snorkel Hunt

I’m in the market for a snorkekl kit for my 2015 rubi. I’ve had my eye on the Diver Down kit from highlifter, but it’s $200… Is it worth it? Mainly do river riding. Is there a better system out there?

New from NY

Just purchased this new to me uses 2011 Polaris Sportsman 850xp with Eps. I have one question. The quad has an aftermarket muffler and a k&n air filter on it. Apparently at one point I am assuming it had a power commander on it since it has a power commander sticker on the front but the seller says he can’t find one anywear. I know with motorcycles when you add an exhaust and intake you usually are supposed to rejetyour carb or remap your fuel on the computer with a power commander which basically tricks the computer I to thinking it needs to put out more gas.
So my question is that since this has an aftermarket exhaust and a k&n intake filter do I need to install a power commander. The seller States that it is still running a little rich. Are these aftermarket exhausts really worth it? Are they usually louder than stock? I am thinking about just buying a stock muffler and reinstalling it on the bike and getting rid of the aftermarket one. I am coming off of a 2010 Honda rancher AT 420cc so stock 850 should be more than enough power.
I already plan on installing the richochet a-arm guards and skid plates, moose front bumper, bison rear bumper, still thinking about the rack extenders and hand guards as well as a LED light bar.

Where to anchor G2 Outlander in Truck Bed?

Okay guys I searched around and could only find a thread on anchoring on a trailer.

I have been anchoring my Outlander in my 6.5ft truck bed by the rear rack. I don’t like it and it worries me a bit. Clearly that’s not the best way to anchor an ATV but I CANNOT find any other anchor points…

Everything is covered in plastic or skid plates. Does anyone have any suggestions? The tailgate is about 6 inches from closing…SO CLOSE. It’s just never going to close.

Thanks.
