Primary spring retainer cup stuck?
So I replaced the slider pads in my primary the other day, and that went well, no real problems there, quieted down real nice, a whole lotta "clackalackalacka" I had been tolerating.
But I've apparently noticed something that may or may not be cause for concern, wanted to throw it out and see:
When I pulled the outer sheave off, there was no "spring-loaded tension" to watch out for, as it appears my retainer cup was stuck/seized in the barrel there, the outer sheave came off in literally "one" piece.
TBH, I didn't even know at the time that there was anything "wrong", I've only started to pickup on it now that I've been youtube-ing clutch kits and spring swaps. All those vids show the outer sheave on the primary being "pushed" out by the spring force, upon disassembly.
I've (un)fortunately already reassembled everything with the new belt, so I'm not in any hurry to tear back into it, and as far as I can think, I don't reeeeeaaaally need to, right? I mean, once the clutch bolt is torqued back down, that retainer cup is going to bottom against the one-way anyway, and the spring would behave like it should, I'd imagine.
Anyone got any insight to the contrary? There's no retainer clip or anything, in the partsbook, that would explain why my cup came off with the outer, it must've just rusted/seized in there from over the years.

LED bulb
Hi everyone! I’m thinking about switching to LED headlight bulbs and I’m looking for some reviews from you all on brands. I have a ‘09 and I think they are H4 bulbs. Do any of you have trouble with the cooling fans on the bulbs getting mudded up? I like Nineo brand on Amazon. They have great reviews.
Sportsman 700 Troubles
My problem is complicated so please bear with me. My 2004 Sportsman 700 was leaking fuel out of the carburetor overflow tube every time the throttle was pressed. There was no tube off the carburetor so it was dripping right onto the engine. Eventually it ignited and caused a small fire that was quickly put out. Once it cooled off, it started right back up and ran fine the rest of the day.
I only had to replace the choke cable after the fire. Everything else seemed fine. Next two times I took it out, it would run fine for 100 yards then it would die out with throttle and backfire. Taking your thumb off the throttle, it would go back to idle without stalling out. I limped along like that for about 20 minutes. Let it sit for about 15 minuets. It started back up and ran fine the rest of the day.
Something else must be damaged, but I don’t know where to start. Any advice appreciated.

Help… Trouble Codes
Hey fellow Defender owners... I have a 2019 Defender HD10XT with about 400 miles on it. Ran perfectly so far... I started it up today and drove it for a few minutes and no noticeable issues. Left it running to warm up a little. As it was idling, it started running rough and died. Had a check engine light on. Now it wont start. It cranks fine and the fuel pump turns on but the engine wont start. I did get it to fire up but it died right away again. Does anyone know how to pull the engine codes? I did a search but couldn’t find anything.
New motor won’t stay running
So I bought a 2016 sportsman 850 highlifter and found out it had a blown up motor. I looked online and everything I read said that 11-16 model years were the same and all parts will work.
I picked up a wrecked 2011 850 and swapped the motor onto my frame. The only thing that wasn’t a direct match was the tps sensor and the intake/throttle body setup. I used the 2011 intake setup for the time being until I get my motor built that came out of my highlifter and had to splice a plug-in on so I could plug the tps sensor in.
The fourwheeler fires right up and will run for about 2 seconds and shut off. It’s almost like the computer is killing the fuel. I’ve tried adjusting the throttle cable, I’ve double and triple checked all my wiring and grounds.
Does anybody know anything else I could try? The motor from the 2011 ran great before we pulled it.
