1999 Sportsman 335- Hard to Start

This new to me project will fire right up if I put my hand over the intake boot (with air box off) for one second it has a lot of suction.
Gas will come into the boot and run. It still needs adjustment to idle well, but the first time it will just crank and not fire till I do that.
Rebuilt/cleaned carb, took pump apart, cleaned looked fine, new fuel, clean tank, petcock is working.
Tried to adjust the air screw under carb once, started at 2 1/2 out - then tried 1 1/2 out, did same thing.

What would cause this to fire only when I put hand over boot.
Once warmed up she will fire on her own.
Thanks in advance

2001 Sportsman 500 HO no power

Hello trying to figure out why i have no power on my 01 sportsman 500 ho have battery in and turn key on and push the run switch over n no power lights don't like up nothing brand new battery brand new start and solenoid and brand new key switch. It does have a winch on it that was installed from the dealer when the first owner bought machine. But the winch should have nothing to do with it starting should it? The winch didn't work when i got machine i think the winch solenoid is bad. Is there any fuses or anything that would cause it to not have power i know if the hi low run switch unit is bad then that could be why but just wondering if there is anything else the hi beam switch was acting up like the hi beam would come on randomly or not come on at all the run switch though never acted up it was working fine now i get no power. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New to the Can Am Forums

Hey guys! My name is Megan, and I'm from southern Ontario in Canada. I currently have a 2017 Outlander 850 on 29.5x10 terminators and 14x7 MSA 21loks. My goal for joining this forum is to learn as much as I can about BBK, clutches, tuning and ecu reflashing, and suspension upgrades.

Difficult To Start At High Altitude-2013 Commander 1000

I have a 2013 Can Am Commander 1000. I live at around 2500 ft and it runs fine here. When go to higher elevations, 6000-8000+ ft, it is difficult to start and keep running. It often takes several tries to turn over. Then when it starts, the RPMs jump up and down, the throttle is not responsive, and it dies. After several tries, the throttle will begin to be slightly responsive and I am able to hold it at a higher RPM until it warms up and then it will run fine. It will continue to run fine until it sits and cools off. Then it will do the same thing all over again. It does this in both the summer and winter but it is much harder to get going when it is cold outside.

I have changed the spark plugs and fuel pump but neither have helped.

I would appreciate any help or ideas that anyone has to offer.

Thank you.

Yoshi pipe repacking

Hey guys,

So I’ve had my yoshi pipe for a little over a year now. They say to re-pack like every 10-15 hours or something ridiculous like that- i didn’t. Seems to me it’s sounding slightly different now so I’m gonna re pack it. My question is has anyone used other packing other than the yoshi branded BrP kit on their yoshi pipe?

They want like 120$ Canadian for that. Any info advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

My Barn Find Polaris

New here but have owned a few ATV’S in the past. Just sold a questionable 2005 500 Sportsman.
Came across this one yesterday. A 2014 Sportsman 400 H.O. with 28 miles and 8 hours on it. I’m beyond satisfied. Still has the nuns on the tires. Many questions to follow but thanks in advance.
