Thanks for info again there..

Also will prob take you up on your IM there as well once I get into this...

If this bike has a TPS sensor, just unhook it. Do not remove it from the side of the carburetor.

THanks how do I know aboutt he TPS Sensor before I remove the carb there??

Thanks  will give that a try tonight and let you know...

clean the carb.

Any real easy how to on that... Not truely the mechanical engine guy so any help greatly appreciated.. I order a service mannual so maybe that will help diagnoise it..

thanks

Yea tried pull and key still nothing looks like no gas indeed as the new plug still clean even when I tried Full choke to start it??

Is there a way to get to it to start or move the needle?

Bike has been sitting for a few months now and was just getting ready to prep it for coming hunting season..

Bilke won't seem to fire at all? I have changed the plug and removed the gas and put fresh gas in it. It just turns and turns and won't fire?

ANy help what to look for? Rather not take it to shop if I can avoid it..

thanks

unbolt the rear & zip tie it to the frame. You dont need them.

Fronts are just like a small car pretty simple.

Bring a 12 pack & well get it done

Thanks..

I might just do that Domestic or Import 12-pack.... 

How hard is it to replace brakes on a 2005 Rhino here? Brakes starting to squeek so rather replace them before run more damage? Called dealer pads only $89 but labor they wanted $240 plus pads.. Didn't think it was that bad of a job to do it labor seemed high?? 

Thanks

Looking for a good place to get some accessories for my 2004 Polaris 400 just got? Dealer way over priced figure some good online or local ones??

Thanks that is plan B to test... Last is the starter hopefully get it before that one.....   

Thanks... Have battery on charger now will let it go for a few hours and see what happens....

   

I tapped on it a few time when turing the key and turned over then stopped then clicked again like not enough "juice" to turn over???

Any chance it could be the battery maybe there???

Coming from right by the battery (left side/towards front) actually under the seat??

Is that the solenoid then you think??

Looks like power going to starter as test light worked....

Just tried again and now all I get when turn the key is a click click each time, but pull start and cranks fine???

Thanks will give that a shot... Yea fuse was good.....

Nope not yet, should I get one???  how will that help me??

thanks

Hey there..

Need some help troubleshooting problem here.. Have my Polaris sportsman 400 and all of a sudden the electric start went dead on me?? The pull start works fine still for it? I traced back the wiring and no burnt or cut wires anywhere just doesn't want to turn when I push the button???

Was thinking it might be the  Solenoid  maybe but not sure before I start replacing parts on it???

Thanks

Here is the ID to the thief who sold me the ATV back in May 2004...

I suggest that you seek a second legal opinion. You're in a civil case, not a criminal case. So, a judge is not going to feel sorry for you enough to rule against the person you sold stolen property to(regardless of whether you knew it or not). There are many people in this world who would not stand by and let you sell them stolen property without inflicting some serious payback on you and/or your family. Appreciate that you're only being threatened with a lawsuit and do the right thing.

Yea doing that but law is law in any court been told... No need to feel sorry by the Judge just looking for legal justice as per the law is all..

As for your comment about inflicting seious payback we really don't want to go down that road......As for the right thing well unfortuanetly the "right thing/right person" is in Jail so we can't really do the right thing just what we can do as victims really right now...

yeah people call me paranoid but f that.
ont time iwas gonna drive to tampa to buy a z400(04) with only a billof sale.
the guy tried to convince me that those ORV's didnt have titles and a BOS would suffice.
well he finally broke down and told me that the bank had the title cause he still owed money on it.
BUT promised me that  he would pay it off with the money i gave him for the bike.
yeah right.

Yea bought a JetSki that way actually but instead of giving him the Cashiers check for the money we went to the Dealer and gave it them to pay of the ski and he had the rest in his pocket..

Told me the same story and was like NOOOOOO wayyyy buddy I am paying the loan off for you then you get the change only way making this sale to me... Worked out though......... 

dude im sorry but i ALWAYS check the vin.
i have 4 bikes and ive always cross referenced the vin to the title before showing the green.
tough lesson but i am sure you will check from now on.
hope it all works out.

Gery--- Yea learned well, now always check VIN to paperwork as well as get sellers DL number anytime I purchase anything........ If that is an issue for them no deal for me and I walk away......

[HOW many people actually look for the VIN when you have either a Bill of Sale or a Title from the buyer?]

Seems like you did not need any help from this website after all, since it seems you have already talked to a lawyer and decided what you were gonna do. The moral thing to do would be give them the money back because you made a mistake by not looking at the vin when you purchased the quad. I think they will and hope they win this one. Its what is do to them. You should have checked the vin on the quad. Final answer.

Yunt-- Well was looking to see if anyone else has been in this situation which it seems there has been... As for them winning pretty cut and dry from a Legal stance have been told.... Was just doing what I could so both win since we really both are losing out in the end...

Out of curiousity how many people check VIN when you buy vehicle.. I mean first time ever bought an ATV but have bought cars, boats, golf carts and NEVER had issues there...

So guess just put this out there for a survey ....

HOW many people actually look for the VIN when you have either a Bill of Sale or a Title from the buyer?

You might be able to help others if you post the guys former screen name, so someone else dosen't get burned. ONCE A THEIF ALWAYS A THEIF!!!!! Please post the screen name.

Will POST his screen name/email when get home tonight indeed.....

As for turning out well been no real issues worked with the police here and the ATV was given back to original owners luckily not sure if they were around since the report said it was stolen back in 2001' Sure they were shocked and happy indeed with that call...

You said the guy you purchased it from is long gone. Now you are saying he is in jail. I think you owe the person you sold it to a refund and then keep up with the guy in jail and get a judgement against him. You can go to court when his court date is set and let the judge know how much you are out and he will put a judgement against him. They are asking or sueing you for their money back and you need to do the same to the person you purchased it from.

In jail is long gone from real world and court system as a cross claim in this case was told by attorney... 

Well that is what I'm going to let the judge decide on how to come to a conculsion since we are both victims in this case and law will show that..... As for giving them there money back no problem soon as I get mine back might not be fair to all but that is the legal system. Told them not trying to make money and would split both our losses since the real criminal can't be brought forward for monetary and if was be a long day for sure before saw money from that creep prob....

I mean I did what FL DMV asked me when buying this ATV and look back and never should have bought a ATV if was going to cause this headache down the line..

What was the guys screen name you bought it from and how much did you pay?

I had all the profile info printed off from this site back then when it was bought for the police so think they used alot of that to track him down what the report said.. So had name, location, email etc which helped them I believe....
