Have a 2000 Sportsman 90 I picked up for my youngest son. It had been sitting and would not start, so I pulled and cleaned the carb, cleaned the tank, put fresh gas in it and it fired right up. It seems to run out good, but after riding it for a few minutes when you de-cellerate it bogs down and will slowly stall out or drop down to a low idle.

I can fire it back up and it will pick up ok, but every few minutes it seems to want to bog down and throttle response is non-existant. Fuel and plug are fresh.

It does seem to be pretty smoky with the auto oil injection. Could to much oil cause this type of behavior ? Anything else to check?

Thanks

      I am unable to find a wiring diagram for this UTV.  When I turn the switch to on, the contractor does not engage.  The Brake pressure switch and the parking brake switches work correctly. What else should I be looking for?  All of the diagrams I have found are for newer models and the wire color coding is different.
       
      Thanks

      Just getting into this issue really. Been replacing solenoids but now I'd like to track down the problem. This time I'm not getting neutral/reverse lights or start button. Was on a creek ride when it started doing this recently. It cranks by arcing the solenoid and gives me no light or start button but if I crank with the pull cord....the neutral light and the button work. Turn it off and try to crank with the key and nothing. I'm looking into the safety switch issue tomorrow and re charging the battery. Just figured this was odd enough of a problem that you guys might be familiar. Thanks
