Working on a 2002 Quest 500 and the grommets in the tank are rock hard and leak.  Any tips on replacing without having to pull the tank, hands are too big to get to the bottom gromment which is the worst one.

I did have to use the heat gun to soften the grommets up enough to push into the tank.  Used a little dow 111 to help slide them in.  Cleaned the carb and re-installed it today.  Replaced a couple of the fuel lines, previous owner probably used ethanol gas in it, they were rock hard as well.

Quick and dirty video of it running decent finally.  Re-jetted the carb this afternoon, got rid of the sea level jetting.  It ran, just now that it's warmed up it would run rich again.  Was fine when it was still cold.

Yep but i bet you learned something out of that and it sure will help the next member along.  Also very rewarding to see that thing run the right way.   Nice work.   

For sure, It's been a journey on this one.

Yes that is a Bear if its the one im thinking about, basically the whole front end has to come off to find all the mounting points and some are hidden. Why did you have to pull the tank generally the groumets start leaking and you have to replace those.

      I was looking to buy a new ATV. 
      I was debating between Polaris sportsman 450 and Honda rancher.
      Polaris it a bit cheaper.
      But can you tell me which one will have more demand on the used market? Which one will keep it's value better?
       
      Let's say 3-5 years from now.

      I have had my new tires for a while, chronic procrastinator, decided it was time to get them mounted up. Against my better judgement i decided to mount them myself.
       

      I got one of these Harbour Freight manual tire mounting machines, mounted it to a half pallet to make it more portable. Very impressed with the quality and amount of tools that came in the kit for a low price point.
       

      The bead breaker worked very well, i wasnt sure it would be able to do it, i think these tires are original to the bike its a 2004, but with enough lube, mothers concentrated car wash straight, it finally broke the bead.
       

      Tire fit very well on the machine and it tightened down good.
       

      The extra long pry bar that came with the kit worked well to get the outer rim of tire off.
       

      Half way there, half way there no issues, then it got serious.
       

      I pulled and i tugged had 3 prybars working this thing and it wouldnt budge no matter what i tried it would not come off, until i got the grinder out and cut it off. Im sure most of you see what the problem was. I didnt notice it until i was too far in to change direction. On this particular rim the tire goes on and off from the back side of the rim, not the front like what i was used to. The back side is the low side. Plus to add to the problem tires were old and not very strechy, i have a greater respect for how well these ATV tires are made with well reinforced sidewalls, even with the grinder it took me a minute or two to cut through it, of couse i was being very careful not to nick the rim. Anyway the HF machine worked well and the tire is off, hopefully the next one wont be this bad. Lot of hard work for an old man, glad i can still do it.
       

      Now for the fun part , cleaning up the old rim, years of stop leak and slime caked on the inside, that stuff dries hard, the little Milwaukee is good for getting into tight spaces, but wasnt quite up to the task.
       

      Needed a few more RPMs.

      Old rattlecan paint just flaked right off. Now time to decide on a new color, tired of the boring gray. More to come!

      I've got a 1995 220 Bayou and the electric start does not work.  When I got it the machine was pretty rough but I was told it ran less than a year ago.  The key switch had been cut off and wires  twisted after the key was lost.  I bought a new ignition switch and repaired the wiring and it is working correctly.  It is in neutral and the neutral light is on when the key is turned on but I get nothing when pressing the start button.  I verified there is no voltage going to the starter from the solenoid.  The fuse in the solenoid is good.  Something I found that is odd is that I get positive voltage(12 volts) to the brown, black, and white wires that run into the solenoid when the key is on.  That doesn't make sense to me but I could be wrong.  I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you in advance.
