I just purchased a 07 sportsman 450 that is having carburetor issues. When I started going through the carb I found that the previous owner had glued a hardware bolt into a hole located on the right side as you can see in the image. I got the bolt out and it looks like it should be just a plugged hole to prevent unmetered air. Can anyone enlighten me on what this hole is like from the factory?

The issues it is having is that it bogs down about 1/4 throttle like it has a dead spot. After you throttle past that point its fine. Everything internal seems to be just fine.

Any imput is appreciated.
Thanks

hello there :th_smiliewavey: ive recently picked up a 19 outlander max xt 850 and am looking forward to snooping around your forum haha :smile I stumbled across the rear diff problem with these atv's while searching for maintenance advice on youtube. :eek

I have a 1997 Polaris sportsmen 500 ATV I am having a problem with the leaking out the overflow tube when ridding it.
We have put a new carb, fuel pump and have adjusted the float and checked the vents for clogs . Have checked the gas cap and changed the fuel filter. It still leaks only when ridding it. Any advice

Hi, I have a 2004 outlander 400 H.O. I have been having issues with it starting and staying running. I just changed the spark plug and it started right up the first time. Now the atv will idle just fine without any issues, but the he minute zi press the throttle and attempt to give it any gas, the quad loses power and bogs right now. Once the engine power is reduced significantly, the quad will backfire and power will be restored for a few seconds, then if zip bogs down again and may or may not backfire. Once I let off the throttle it will idle just fine again without any issues. I have been told two different things by two different shops. One says the timing is off which I have no idea how to fix, the other says it just needs to have the carb cleaned. It only has 600 miles /93 hours on it. All fuel lines have been replaced too.

Hey everyone my name is Corey. I have a Rally 200 that has been giving me a lot of problems starting. If I let it set overnight it will usually foul the plug when you try to start it the next day. Pull the plug and clean it it will fire right up and run great all day. I rebuilt the carb last summer. Didn’t change anything. I can even shut the gas off and let it idle out of gas and it still fouls it the next day.

I have a 1995 scrambler 400 4x4. It is overheating according to the temp lite, I have been checking around for a fan thermal sensor and the cheapest I can find one of these is a $110. Is there a way to test this or can I use one from a different year or just bypass it and put a manual switch on it. Thanks Newbie

So this machine is new to me and I am going through it changing fluids - dielectric greasing every connection , changing the belt but for the life of me I cant find the damn spark plug !!!!! Help me please !

2006 Outlander that has a 2” trailer ball. Is anyone familiar with a 2” receiver i‘d like to be able to use.


Thanks

2006 model starts right up and idles fine, can rev up rpm in neutral and let off gas and idles down fine. It will sit and run no issues.
When I put in gear and accelerate it runs for about 2 seconds moving about 10 feet.....then Gauges loose power and it just dies immediately.
I have googled with no luck. Any ideas? New battery and visible connections seem fine. Thanks in advance!

Have a 2005 Sportsman 600 that I have questions about from time to time.
