Hi all,

So I had to clean out the carb on my kids 2007 sportsman 90 4 stroke. It was gummed up by old gas.
I added just a little new fuel and could not get the thing to start. I did put it on the reserve setting so it would get gas from the lowest part of the tank. cranked and cranked. made sure all the lines and filter are clear. even too apart the fuel valve (off, on, reserve and made sure it was clear).
I noticed that the fuel line from the tank goes "down" to the fuel valve and then "up" to the carb. I ended up doing the raise and lower, raise and lower, raise and lower on the fuel valve and line and then it finally fired up.
I assume this is gravity fed since there is no vacuum pump. Seems strange design, is this normal?

Thanks

Hi guys, there few videos from yesterday trail drives. There is plenty of snow at the moment in Finland, about 60cm.

Ride is -13 XMR ported to 840cc, CVTECH + stiffer rear spring, PCV, 30x10x12" CST Sludgehammers and fox.

At this point there are 4 of us planning a trip to HMT during spring break. Arriving March 24th and leaving again March 29th. Looking at lodging options right now.

Suggestions wanted from those that have been there.

Looking at Sam's Guest House so far. Looked at Ashland Resort but to get a bed for each of us (4 guys) we need to spend close to $2000 for the 5 days. We want bed and shower, would like to be able to get to trails without having to trailer every day, but that isn't out of the question.

This is a duplicate and can be delete please!

I have a 570X2 with 350 Miles. Was out riding in the snow the other day and all of a sudden there is no power. RPM's go up but no power to wheels, then its back to normal and now back to no power. I am from minnesota thought something froze up so had it in heated garage and still same issue. Any thoughts ?

I've been looking at the can am apache 360 track system and was wondering, how much longer do they make the quad? my main concern would be hauling it to places or how I'd haul it

Hey guys, new to the forum, new to atvs. I’m originally from WA, but recently moved to the Salt Lake City area. South west of salt lake up I. The mountains with tons of snow. I picked up a 2006 sportsman 700 with about 1800 miles on it for plow purposes as well as play. I have some acreage out here. I did the ball joints, a new CV, new prop line yoke and U joint. Just some general common fixes.

Recently the battery hasn’t been charging while running the bike, I’m not new to troubleshooting cars/trucks so I immediately tested the battery, it’s was good, brand new, but still I tested it. Next I went to the google machine for some tips. Checked the voltage at the battery while running and it was around 11.4, too low. Did the stator check and had continuity between the wires so I replaced the stator, now it’s running about 12.4/12.5, but it doesn’t fluctuate when I rev it, and the battery light still comes on. Is there anything else I should check before spending another $150-$200 on an ecm? I’ve looked around for rubbed wires and shorts, but can’t really find anything. The PO did replace the speedo unit around 900 miles, the screen got cracked, other than that I don’t believe anything else has been replaced.

Another question I have, the digital fuel gauge. Is that supposed to be on all the time? Or does it come when the tank is around half full? Because mine doesn’t show when the tank is full, but it does flash on and off when I’m on an incline or rough terrain. Could this possibly be a symptom of whatever is causing my charging issue? The bike also has heated grips/thumb and a winch for the plow. But I haven’t been running the heated grips because it kills the battery.

Thanks guys! Here a pic of my bike as reward for reading my wall of text.
