Hello All,
My Traxter was losing power while plowing snow and then stopped running and will not restart. Plugs are newer and have good spark. Seemed like it could be running out of fuel. Tank had plenty and fuel pump appears to be working fine when I pulled the supply line off the carb and cranked it. Pulled the carb, looked good, but took it apart and made sure it was as clean as it looked. Pulled valve cover and rockers seem to be working correctly. Finally got a compression gauge adapter for the small plugs and it reads no compression with throttle open, 30 psi with throttle closed??? Pulled the head and everything looks good. Inverted the head and filled the combustion chamber with alcohol, no valve leakage. Cylinder and head gasket looks excellent.

I have owned this since new and am really puzzled how it can look mechanically excellent and generate no compression???:th_smiliepullhair:

Hi everyone. I am a new guy to the forum. I need help finding a snorkel kit that will fit on my g2 outlander 650. I do have the factory (oem) radiator relocation. There doesn't seem to be much room between the pod and rad.
Any info would be great. Thanks.

I am a new owner of a Can Am 570 XP and so far I love it (other than the power steering recall). It has a ton of power, extremely fast and very smooth riding. I'm coming from 20 years of riding Honda's so the learning curve had been very steep in terms of maintenance.

I am a new owner of a Can Am 570 XP and I need to learn a little bit about its maintenance. I've owned Honda's for the last 20 years, so this is all new to me and I have a few questions.

1.) Do I have to remove all the plastic on the right side of the machine to change the oil?

2.) Should I change the gear box oil while I am changing the engine oil?

3.) Do I use the same oil for the engine and the gear box?

4.) I will be getting a spare belt to carry along in case I need one. The video I watched on replacing it showed them using a threaded bolt to spread the secondary clutch to slip the belt in. Was that supplied with the 4-wheeler or will I need to get one?

I apologize for the simple, stupid questions but I am coming from Honda's where the maintenance was a snap. Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to remove the bendix off of my atv, and I've watched all the videos, however, i dont think the setup of the bendix on my atv is the same as all the others... ive tried and tried to get that bendix out and it wont come.. its more of a snug fit than the other ones on the videos.. so, do i have to take off the flywheel to get it out? thanks in advance!

Looking to make the trunk on my outlander waterproof, Found this Outsiders Mud Crew
Has anyone tried this gasket or maybe has a cheaper way that seals the trunk well?

Would there be any benefit to using a K&N air filter over the stock filter in my 2017 Outlander 1000?

I would like to know if I can take a computer from the same year and model machine and swap it to my machine to see if it will start. My machine will not start and I have checked just about everything. Here is my story below which is why I want to swap a computer with another machine.


Thanks guys for your help. Here is my dilemma and the things i have checked or replaced. My machine was riding fine and then just died in the woods and would turn over but not start. I towed it home and have checked and or replaced the following. The machine has good spark and is getting fuel and turns over just fine but will not start only a small backfire occasionally if I give it some throttle while turning over.

1. Getting spark
2. Getting fuel
3. fuel pressure is good
4. battery is fine and turns over fine
5. flywheel key is fine
6. changed the cps even though the old one tested fine
7. coil tests fine
8. stator ohm check is a little off book spec but all 3 legs are consistent and none go to ground.
9. compression is good.
10. valves are within spec

So this has turned into a real head scratcher. I did find a slight bare wire on the stator wire that plugs into the rectifier. I taped it up so it should be a problem. But thats why I am trying to figure out if the machine will start and run without the stator plugged in. The only thing I can think of is maybe the rubbing wire shorted out the rectifier and maybe the computer in the process.

Sorry for being so long winded but as you can see I have checked just about everything I can.

Any help would be appreciated.
