2004 Outlander won’t start, no electric

I have a 2004 Outlander. Yesterday I gassed it up, put in a new battery. The machine had been sitting in my garage since last year and the tank was dry. I used some starter fluid to get it to crank and bring fuel to the engine. The machine started and then died. At the same time all electric power was lost. I checked the 4 fuses in the front compartment and they are good. Can this be the starter solenoid? I checked the battery connections and they are fine. I am lost, please help.
Thank you

Driving an ATV up a couple of loading ramps isn’t as easy as it looks; just ask this guy. Granted, there are a few things he could have done to keep this from happening, like using a strap to fasten the ramps to the truck or simply not stopping half way up. Oh well, experience […] more

Not getting fuel to carb?

I?ve been picking apart what may be a clogged fuel system, I?m getting good fuel from the tank to fuel switch, it was very hard to blow air through the switch (now blown out).... cannot blow any air through the fuel pump (ordered a new one).....rerouted a fuel line from the tank to carb, is gravity feed enough to fill the bowl? The drain plug is out of the carb and not getting any fuel draining by gravity alone...

2012 Sportsman 400 h.o Burning Oil/blue smoke

Hey guys new to the forums and the polaris world. I recently got a 2012 sportsman 400 h.o from a family member. It ran great I noticed the oil leave was low so I topped it up with Rotella 5w40 until I got enough oil to do a change. As soon as I put the oil it it started to smoke pretty bad on acceleration. So I ran to town picked up some oil and a filter & and new air filter, And changed it out, primed the pump it is still smoking. I did not overfill either time I put oil in. Other than the smoke it seems to run really well. Just not sure where to start. The only thing I noticed is that the oil tank vent that your suppose to pinch for priming. The plastic end that's on the oil tank is broken off so there is just a hole in the tank that I covered with my finger to prime. It never smoked when it was low on oil but I soon as I filled up it started. Please help thank you.
