I have an issue I am in my second year with now. In warmer weather My 03 700 runs fine. But when the temperature drops below 32 degrees it fires right up and runs for 2 seconds then just keeps turning over. I have run out of ideas. Has anyone had this problem? I have checked the fuel lines even added heat to the fuel. Disconnected the lines and I have good fuel flow. I have spark. I have cleaned the carb. If the temp goes to just 33 or 34 degrees it will start fine.
2008 sportsman 800 using oil
I have a 2008 sportsman using a LOT of oil. I pull off the front body gas task etc and and put a camera down a pug and found oil on top of the cylinder. Now.. Im new to all things ATV and I don't know a lot about engines but I think I can fix it. My question would be, what do you all think it is? I did a compression test and got 170PSI in the left cylinder and 180PSI in the right.
Any help would gladly be appreciated! What do y'all think it is?

O-rings for primary air filter
Does anyone know of a source for the rubber O-ring that is used to seal the air intake canister on the rear of the 2015 Maverick next to the mufflers? Came across a deal on the Donaldson primary filters and safety filters, but no O-ring in box. BRP wants over $18.00 for this rubber ring. Not confident about re-using it.

Carburetor kit
Hello all,
I have an old polaris magnum 500 that was running great but the carburetor was leaking fuel, so I decided to purchase a carburetor kit.
The fuel leak is now stopped but my bike struggles to start now and if it does I have to hold the throttle in to keep it going the it eventually back fires.
Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this issue?

Smart-lok vs Visco-lok
Eyeballed the new Defender XMR w/ the Smart-lok. Looks promising. Anyone have any further info on it? How it compares to the "old" Visco-lok? I'm betting that if it's successful it'll spread to other models over the next couple of years. 👍
Has Anyone Ever Reused Their Exhaust Gaskets?
I would normally replace the exhaust port gaskets when changing out the exhaust but tomorrow is a holiday here and all the Canam shops are closed..... so I can't buy any new gaskets. Has anyone ever reused their gaskets successfully or did it leave nasty exhaust leaks?
2004 Sportsman 500 HO wiring
I bought this at from a deceased friends widow, he had taken the wires all off going to the solenoid because he was in process of changing it. So here I sit with a hand full of wires not knowing where they go. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Solenoid has 2 big lugs over/under style then one little lug to the side. There's the big wire from battery to solenoid, big wire from solenoid to started, a small gray wire with a big end on it and a small red wire with little end on it

Magnum 425
Just picked up a 425. Love it. Works great except while going in reverse. After putting it reverse it goes, but only at 1/3 speed. Almost chokes out if you throttle too much. Don't have that issue going in high or low.
Any ideas? Thanks!
