starting

I've got a 14 sportsman 570 and when I go to start it, it cranks for a second, stops, then cranks and starts (not letting off the key at all). Sometimes the time between the first crank and when it starts cranking again is long and sometimes there is barely any time in between at all. It's done...

Hi, I have a sportsman 90. When starting cold with choke it is starts and dies unless I give it a little throttle. When started it will die at idle without a little throttle. After I run for 5 to 10 minutes it starts fine and idles will. I inspected the carb recently and cleaned all holes with...

I need a wiring diagram for the electronic ignition. Please! Or even better a repair manual PDF... This thig is going to need alot of work! :werd:

So far I have replaced the old fouled plug (cylinder has compression and there is spark), changed all fuel lines, put a new needle in the carb and a bowl gasket, as well as check for spark. On first round of trying to start it, I had the top cap off the carb and after a few pulls it started...

Hey guys I have a Sportsman 500, think it is 1999 model. This ATV has been on the farm for quite sometime with Zero problems other than changing the battery. It is getting real hard to start. I check for fire on plug while using starter switch and I have none. I pull the starter rope a couple of...

I have a 2005 predator and it all of a sudden won't start. I can push/pull start it but my starter solenoid keeps clicking. I put a new solenoid in it and it still keeps clicking. Once in a great while it will barely turn over. HELP????

I have a 99 sportsmans 500 that runs and starts fine in warm weather but when its cold will not start at all with the electric start. The only way I can get it started is with by pull starting. It has a new battery and is always on a battery tender. Once started it runs fine. Anyone have any...

So when I go to start it, it will start up after letting it sit on the battery charger but I have to have the gas down in order to keep it running. I've messed with the idle control both left and right and neither way seems to hold it at the right rpm's to keep it from dying on me. Also it's...

Hi, Recently bought a 2006 predator second hand. Started fine the first few times but then was struggling to wind the engine over. Thought it was just a bad battery because it would jump start fine off my car battery. I put the battery in our other Polaris 90 and it worked fine which was a bit...

I have a 99 sportsman 500 and when I try to start it with just the battery it does not work, if I jump start it with a car it runs but once I disconnect the cables and try to turn it on with just the battery, the starter turns over many times and gives it spark but still doesn't start it. I'm...

Hello, Need help solving a starting problem. Machine cranks over fine, just won't start. Lookinf for information on the carb & choke system. Believe choke is a open/close valve type instead of a flap style. Possible issue with the choke opening/closing. Machine has been in for service...
