Hi all!

If you saw my previous thread about getting gas out of the tank, here's the update on my 2009 Polaris Sportsman 500.

I replaced the fuel pump with a working one. There is pressure on the lines because I got a faceful of gasoline when I removed the hose to check.
I also got a new spark plug and fuel filter.

Engine turns over but won't fire.

I poured a little gas into the spark plug hole. It ALMOST fired.

I checked for fuel where the line goes into the engine right above the spark plug. Fuel squirted out.

Now I'm stuck. I don't know what else to do.

Do you guys think the port where the fuel goes into the engine towards the spark plug is clogged? It seems to me the gas is not reaching the plug. If so, is there a way to clean it?

Any other possibilities it won't start?

The stock Holeshots already have punctures after 20hrs riding and I’m looking at getting Blackwater Evo’s. I only ride logging roads and trails. Do you lose a lot of top end when switching to a 28” tire?

Just installed a new 450 watt stereo on my 2015 outlander 1000. I was riding it for about 20 minutes and when I pulled up to an intersection the machine just shut off. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue. Have the stereo wired to battery as the instructions said to. Machine immediately started up right after. Any tips or changes people have done to help this would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for some ideas on front axles that wont break the bank and will handle a mild lift. I'm not really mudding this machine, mostly want the extra clearance for all the rocks we get around here. I know Gorilla and Highlifter will take much higher axle angles than stock but not looking to spend that much $ at the moment.

I'm curious on how many of you guys have had no issues with their diffs.
I've been on lots of forums (Ford, VWs, Subaru) before buying all of those products in multiple qties over the past 38 years. If it were from the different forums, I wouldn't have bought any of those.

Now back to ATVs, my Outlander (2016 Max 850 Xt) is my first and I have seen many posts about the diffs.

Is there someone out there that didn't get any issues so far ?
Mine is fine so far !
Any tricks/advise ?

Thanks !

06' Outlander 400HO. Been a great machine.

Anyone have any ideas on how to attach a electric spreader/fertilizer spreader to the lick & carry rack?

I have a 2018 570 touring. I have mirrors on both sides of the handlebar. I put a winch on it last week and to take the left mirror off to put the winch control on. I am pretty much out of room on the left side of the handlebar and still need to put my mirror back on. Where did you put your mirror? Can you post pics of the set up? Thanks.

Sooooo....I've been having clutch problems. I have a 2000 Polaris sportsman 500 it had ebs clutches, I went to a used atv parts and picked up a non ebs primary and a secondary clutch. Everything seems to work fine except when I slow to a stop without using the brakes the secondary makes a squeal. If I use the brakes it will not squeal. Is there a difference between a ebs and non ebs secondary? I know the primary is non ebs. I also tried a non ebs belt and an ebs belt. They both seem to ride a little high on the secondary also. Please help!
