I have a Polaris Xplorer 250 4x4. It's a great quad, ran without issue until I noticed the fuel valve was slowly dripping gas. Ordered a new one, easy enough to replace, but now it won't start! I put the old one back on to see if it was an issue with the new petcock, and it still wouldn't start (it was running fine 15 minutes earlier). Engine just cranks and cranks. Any insight would be helpful.

I’ve also had a issue with valve—turned ever so slightly can make a huge difference on aftermarket petcocks—after you cleaned carb, I would see if adequate fuel is coming out of petcock before installing the fuel line back on. 

And not a bad idea to install a fuel filter between new petcock and carb...

That is one thing I'm not sure of. I tried all different variations and none of them worked. Also, I changed one of the tubes because when I pulled the old one off it ripped. The diameter is smaller then the original. Do you think that would be an issue?

      91 quadrunner lt4wd shifting issue
      By Joeguy
      After i did my rebuild it seems to not want to shift well. I think the cable is alright, and when it does shift its nice and solid. I have to basically use my hand to shift and i have to pull or push it very far, like max travel, to get it to shift. I also tried adjusting the clutch set screw. Any ideas where to go next, or maybe i should just grab a new cable to try.

      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

      2006 Polaris Sawtooth No Spark
      By LashinWheeler
      Hello all, I have a 2006 Polaris Sawtooth with no spark. It has a dead battery but with a jump pack on it, it will still not Spark. Plug is good, Throttle ETC is not closed, Stator pick up coil seems to Ohm out in the correct range, Unsure how to properly check the CDI. And when ignition is on the Neutral and reverse light come on but after cranking just the neutral stays on. 
       
      Any help would be great,
       
      Thanks!

      99 Bear tracker no neutral or reverse light or start button
      By OldATVowner
      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

      Fuel issue
      By Dsluder
      I am having an issue with a hs500. I bought it broken and have been trying to get it running. It seems to be starving for fuel. If I put my hand over the intake it will crank but will not run for very long because I'm not able to get the correct airflow with my hand. The things I have done so far are. Replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, mass airflow sensor, idle air adjuster, fuel injector, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the ecu, and still the same issue. I notice the injector does not spray when removed from the head. I dont know if that is common. 
       
      I am out of ideas on what to do next. I have removed the fuel line from the injector and it is getting plenty of fuel. If anyone has an idea on what could possibly be the issue I would be happy to try anything at this point.
