Hi, So I have a 1999 Sportsman 500 that the original owner said the AWD did not work. I checked all the wiring and have the 23 ohms to both coils, I have 13.5+ volts with it running going to both coils. I have taken them apart to verify parts. All the parts look correct, the armature plates looked a little worn so I replaced them. The cam/rollers/spring all look in very good condition and are smooth. When I test it with the awd on, the armature plates magnetism is working and they hold very well. I put the cam on without the hub and turned the wheels slowly in awe and the rollers do move outwards.When I put it all together it seems like the rollers/cam isn't grabbing the hub at all. I can't figure out why the front awd will not work. All the parts seem to be working correctly.
I am wondering, is it possible that the inside of the hub is too worn or too large that the rollers aren't grabbing? I wondered if possibly someone switched the hubs at some point, but I checked all models between 1995 and 2004 on the parts diagram and they all use the same hub so I have eliminated this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
