Hey I just recently bought a beat up polaris sportsman 500 not running for $1200. replaced the battery, ecm, solenoid(three times), and the pod did come on for a while, but recently, it just doesnt pop on with the key. I have had it running on a makeshift gas tank (wasnt getting fuel to the carb when I turned the starter) when the pod was working, but not for long, just maybe 2 minutes. the headlights do work with the key. also, I put a 2in lift on the front and dropped the axle out of the strut-side boot. Took the boot, strut, and the remaining part of the axle out of the strut. I cant get the axle back into the bearing(see picture). I currently have the front bumper, rack, and plastics, and handlebars off so now is the time to get the guts of this little beast fixed. So my problems are: Pod doesnt work. No gas fed to carb for starting it, but it does pump after its started and running. axle will not fit back together.
