Hybrid Quad from CanAm

Hello Friends,
I have been wandering when CanAm comes out of the stoneage and will introduce a nice and powerful Hybride Quad, preferably all electric. Cause my 650 outlander consumes more than my brothers Jaguar,..:aniwheeler6: or maybe they already have one but keep it quite,..

Sportsman 500 Won’t Start With Key

New member here. I have done a bunch of searching around the forum and while I have found a few helpful suggestions, I still haven’t been able to solve the issue I am having. I have also gone through the ‘won’t start’ thread.

I have a 2008 Sportsman 500 that randomly won’t start with the key anymore and won’t even try to turn over. I started it to plow the other day, drove around, turned the machine off for a couple of minutes, went to turn it back on and nothing. Not even a click at the solenoid. I pull started it and it worked fine. The interesting thing is the next day I tried using the key and it fired right up. But ever since that time, no luck with the key.

Below is a list of everything I’ve tried:

– I have jumped the battery – no luck. Battery seems fine though as all lights turn on when I turn the key and the winch works fine.
– I have jumped the solenoid and the machine fired right up.
– Tried replacing the solenoid and no change.
– I have also tried hitting the starter, but that didn’t help at all.
– I pulled the headlight assembly apart and confirmed that all wiring was clean and installed correct at the key switch.
– I have also tried replacing the switch and still no luck.

The emergency on/off switch appears to be working fine and I have cleaned that as well.

Any suggestions on what else to try at this point? I figured that since I can pull start the machine and jump it from the solenoid that it isn’t an issue with the starter, but that’s just a guess on my part. And I have confirmed that the machine is in neutral and run switch is on.

Trx420 running issue!?!??!

Hi all, i am new to all this internet forum stuff so bear with me lol! Basically i have had my trx 420 for about 6/8 months now and i absolutely love it as a useable machine around our shoot, although the one thing i am not loving is the random cutting out!! There seems to be no pattern or cause as to when or why the machine cuts out but when it does it all points to a fuelling issue?!?! But after a new fuel pump and filters the problem is still there!!! After putting a voltmeter on the plug to the fuel pump it seems that the voltage is very inconsistent, it seems that if the voltage drops below 10ish its not enough to run the pump? But what would be causing this to happen at such random moments and why if you leave it for around five minutes (sometimes more sometimes less) it starts again and may not cut out for minutes, hours or even days? Any ideas or help would be much appreciated as its getting worse and my patience with it grows shorter each time it stops working!!!
