Do I need a new fuel sending unit???? Help Please.

I've got a 2010 sportsman 500 that ran well for years then slowly started to become more and more difficult to start until no start.

I started by checking spark (it's there) then tracing fuel supply and noticed no fuel exits the fuel tank at top out of the nozzle by the sending unit. See pic.

I can get the engine to start briefly with starter fluid so know most all remaining components are working correctly.

Is there something I'm supposed to do to prime it, rebuild it or is sending unit (way expensive) toast? :cowboy:

I work in the automotive and offroad industry making stickers:nerd. Will be at SEMA show at the end of this month as well, maybe I will see a few of you there!

1997 Sportsman 500 not switching into High or Reverse

Hi,

I recently purchased an old Sportsman 500 4x4 and it was shifting and driving ok. I attempted to look up fixes on the forums but came up empty. Also my local shop has not solution and doesn't work on ATVs this old.

Now as I get ready for winter plowing it has stopped going into gear. Here is a recap. Would love any help and feedback. Thanks! Paul

- Shifts into Low gear and drives great
- With Shift lever and rod disconnected, I can not operate the trans gear selector with vice grips. It will not go into gear.
- With rear end on jack stand the wheels spin and no noise from trans

Do I need to rebuild or find a used transmission? I've tried hammering lightly on the shift lever on the trans with the shift rod disconnected and it does not move into gear. I thought maybe it was jammed?

Thanks Paul
