I picked up a barn find non running, in dire need of recusing 02 Xplorer 400. I've rebuilt the top end, and corrected a host of maintenance issues and or lack of maintenance issues. The quad will now start and move under it's own power... Yea for me... Unfortunately, it's running so rich, the fumes will burn your eyes. When trying stretch it's legs, it cannot rev out. It's definitely not lean, it's running way rich. I know based on the pungent gas smell in the exhaust fumes. It's so bad that when I came into the house from the garage where I had the quad running, the wife yelled at me "YOU STINK LIKE GAS.. go change and get a shower. Make sure you put the clothes straight to the washer".

So this is my plan....
1st - I know the float is too high and that will be the 1st thing I adjust.
2nd - I'm also going to look at the choke plunger. I Need to make sure it's fully seated when not is use.
3rd - I'll pull the jets and write down the numbers so I know what jets and needle are in the carb.

Any suggestions... or something I'm overlooking?

I have a 2016 outlander 850 that I have been using to plow the driveway and I have see two lines of oil but cannot seem to figure out were it is coming from, anyone have any ideas on what or were this is coming from.

I have a 2012 outlander 1000 that has a metal on metal squeak. It's hard to tell exactly where it's coming from but I'm guessing the rear diff. It is intermittent as it doesn't do it all the time. When it does its usually at low speeds and will get faster with acceleration. I know my seals are bad, but I don't want to spend the time replacing them if I'm just going to need a new diff soon. I'm just hoping is not in the transmission. Anybody have any advice, or had this issue before? Any help is appreciated!

Bought a new belt, thought mine was stretched, when idles real slow or shut off machine it hits the inside of the cover - I see wear marks on it. This is a new to me ATV.
So the new belt has same deflection, it sits about 1/16" above the sheaves of the secondary when not running.
ATV runs and shifts fine, I just don't like the belt hitting the cover.
The only thing I found to adjust deflection is shimming the sheaves, the trans in not adjustable to move out the center to center dimension.
If I add shims (just got clutch off - so do not know what or how many shims are in it- looks original) this will make sheaves further apart, moving belt out some but it will lower it from the top of the sheave when not running.
Is this the correct process...
I need or would like to pick up about 1/4".
If I would of known the new belt same as old, I would of bought a shorter belt.
Playing with the idea of making a tensioner for the belt.
Thanks in advance...

Hey everyone,

Just trying to wrap my head around this whole using different clutch springs on this machine.

A few of my friends are telling me that I can change out the clutch spring in the primary.

What are the different type of springs and what is accomplished with changing them out and where can these be purchased.

Most of the usage I will be performing with this machine is trail riding, some off road, and snowplowing.

Cheers

Hi Ya'll,
Just joined this group since purchasing my 2008 Sportsman 800. I love this thing and hope to keep it in tip-top shape.
I look forward to interacting with many of you!

Looking for plug wires for a reasonable prices. So far all I can find is $30ea which is way overpriced in my opinion. Any know where to go to get them cheaper?

Hey everyone, new here and really new to forums and I need some help please. I’m in need of a crankshaft for a 400. Can’t find one anywhere.

Ok guys, holding throttle down in gear or not. It'll rev to about 2000 rpm and then drops spark until it falls to maybe 16-1800 rpm and then revs back up again to around 2000. This process will go all day long. Acts like the speed limiter is kicking in but I've disconnected it. New stator, new flywheel, swapped coil, ETC functioning properly, unplugged ground from cdi. Where do I go next? Anyone had a similar issue?
