2008 Sportsman 500 fuel pump problem

Alright guys about 2 weeks ago my four wheeler would barely start then I completely went dead so I charged it and it only last for like 30 mins total. The when I charged it again it wouldn't start but the fuel pump would turn on and you could hear it trying to turn over. The next day the fuel pump won't even kick on and text the battery and it is fine. I have checked the fuses and they are all fine, check the starter it is fine, solenoid is fine as well I can't see any broken wires or anything and I'm at a loss. I don't have the money to take it to a dealer so I'm trying to do these on my own any thoughts?

Carb removal

While I'm on here, i have a shop manual (with poor photos) but just curious since talk is cheap.

I need to remove the carburetor from a 95 or 96 Magnum 425 in order to clean it. What's the trick to disconnecting the throttle and starter valve cables from the carburetor? It's a bit different than my Xplorer 300 which goes in from the top (at least the throttle cable).

I *think* the four screws that hold the top cover off the carb need to be removed. Mine are seized so I'm either going to have to either take a pair of small vice grips and unscrew them that way or grind the heads off with a Dremel tool and remove the remains that way. I sprayed them with some PB Blaster.

Once this cover is removed, I'm thinking the throttle cable should slip off a pulley or something since it goes in from the side.

For the starter valve, there is a black cover on the left hand size. If I remove this plate, is that what gains access to the end of the starter valve?

Would Razr wheels fit a Magnum 425?

I picked up a second Polaris ATV the other day from a co-worker, a 1995 or 96 Magnum 425. It hasn't ran in years. The side wall on one of the front tires is FUBARed from where it sat flat and won't hold air. I don't think I can put a tube in it.

Normally I don't buy used tires (for cars anyway) but these look like they are in good shape.

Most of the time people on CL want the same price for used tires as new ones. This seems fair for tires and wheels. They are supposably 1" narrower than what was suppose to come on it from the factory. I'm not sure what's on it right now.

Anybody know if Razr wheels use the same bolt pattern has the Magnum 4/156mm?

2015 scrambler 850

So I work at autozone, and I've recently picked up some atv oil VERY deeply discounted. It's Lucas motorcycle oil, 10w-30. Im just wondering if anyone else here has run this oil before or what they think about it. I picked up 12 quarts for around $.25 (not a typo) so I don't really care what I do with it. But if it's good oil for my wheeler then I've taken care of oil changes for the next few years.
